    From the README

    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.

    If you think you have found a bug, please file an issue in the Maven Issue Tracker.

    More information can be found on Apache Maven Homepage. Questions related to the usage of Maven should be posted on the Maven User List.

    You can download the release source from our download page.
