How This Book Was Written

This book is a result of collaboration between Vincent Massol and Tim O'Brien. Vincent drove the advanced Maven content, such as the chapters dealing with multiproject builds and custom plug-ins, and Tim wrote the introductory material found in Chapters 1 and 2.

Book content was developed using Microsoft Word files stored in a Subversion repository. A preliminary outline was developed using Atlassian's Confluence wiki, and simple task lists were maintained using Atlassian's JIRA issue tracker.
