Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept
of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project’s build, reporting and documentation
from a central piece of information.
Maven 3.8.2 is available via https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
The core release is independent of plugin releases. Further releases of plugins will be made
separately.
If you have any questions, please consult:
