Developer Productivity with Apache Maven™: 18 hacks to accelerate your builds and tests

Event image
If you're a regular Apache Maven user, you know that build times can quickly add up, eating into your development time and slowing down your feedback loop—whether you're waiting for a local build to finish or watching a pull request on CI inch towards merge, every minute counts. In this webinar by Brian Demers, Java Champion and veteran Apache Maven contributor, we will review a comprehensive list of tips and hacks to make your Maven experience more productive and less miserable. Some of these tips are low-hanging fruit for even Maven beginners, others require more thought and planning for Maven experts. Either way, following this advice will make a meaningful difference to your developer productivity—plus, being able to observe and report productivity boosts to your management team is always a good thing!
  • Sensible Maven tips and tricks learned over 15 years (low hanging fruit)
  • Demo: the power of build caching, demonstrated with Apache SCIMple
  • Leveraging observability to manage "Maven dependency hell"
  • Your toughest questions for the Q&A
