This source tree shows the usage of maven and how it likes to have
your code organized. Maven is not just a build tool, it is a tool to
manage the whole lifecycle of a software product. Maven is highly
extensible and it makes fetching and installing library dependencies
easy. Everything starts with a pom.xml file located in the root
directory of a project. Maven likes to have source code organized as
follows:

.
|-- README.txt
|-- pom.xml
`-- src
    |-- main
    |   `-- java
    |       `-- de
    |           `-- jacobs_university
    |               `-- cnds
    |                   |-- App.java
    |                   `-- Dog.java
    `-- test
        `-- java
            `-- de
                `-- jacobs_university
                    `-- cnds
                        |-- AppTest.java
                        `-- DogTest.java

Our source code located in the src/main/java branch consists of the
definition of the Dog class (Dog.java) and the definition of an App
class (App.java) thatsimply defines the main class method. We use the
de.jacobs_university.cnds package namespace. The src/test/java branch
contains two unit test class definitions (DogTest.java and
AppTest.java).

In the root project directory, you can now type:

  $ mvn compile

This will create a directory target/classes that contains all the
class files and supporting files. Run tests using

  $ mvn test

and create a package using

  $ mvn package

and finally cleanup all the build files using this command:

  $ mvn clean

To run it, simply do this:

  $ java -jar target/dog-app-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
  
If you request the exec-maven-plugin, you can also type:

  $ mvn exec:java

/js
