This book provides a welcome update to the Maven Developers Notebook from a few years back. This is clearly the work of a wide variety of authors (although Goodreads has Tim O'Brien as the author, the cover says "Sonatype"), but Tim did a great job of merging the various voices so that it wasn't so obvious (unless you read the introduction).

If you find yourself using Maven in your day to day work, or you're even thinking about it, this should be an essential addition to your library.
Why? Because in short, the documentation for this astonishingly complex tool falls short of the mark in a number of areas, and this book will fill those gaps as well as provide the necessary modicum of hand holding to get you up and running productively in a very short while.

The stuff I have to read for work!
To be fair - Maven is a very interesting approach to automating important aspects of project - It's much much more than an ANT or MAKE on steriods.
The whole recursive dependency management if important.
It would appear to be a 'must understand' if you're dealing with many of the more modern FOSS Java frameworks such as Apache ServiceMix or uPortal
It's not the best read but it is "The definitive guide"

My rating of 2 stars is not a good a reflection of the quality of the book. I actually thought it was quite thorough and well written. It's much more a reflection of the ratings being "it was ok" and "liked it." I am continually floored by the complexity of Maven, and so this is more an indictment of the tool than it is of the definitive guide to the use of the tool. As a result I can't say that I liked the book, it was just ok.
