What Does Maven Mean?
Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool primarily used with Java-based projects but that can also be used to manage projects in other programming languages like C# and Ruby.

Many integrated development environments (IDEs) provide plug-ins or add-ons for Maven, thus enabling Maven to compile projects from within the IDE.
