For a team, building a unified development environment is a must, and Maven is a good place to help build a unified environment. Here's how to make your unified configuration more efficient.
Preparatory work:
Download the necessary software:
Maven2:http://maven.apache.org/download.html the most important
Maven-proxy: For proxy repository, using proxies to access multiple remote libraries
http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/
Continuum: A good continuous integration tool for automatic build. Support Ant,maven
http://maven.apache.org/continuum/
SVN: Version control tools
Creating a consistent development environment
In a shared development environment, the better advice is to keep Maven's two different profiles managed separately, including shared and user-defined settings. The common configuration is included in the installation directory, while individual development settings are saved in the user's local directory.
