This tool enables you to integrate Maven into your JBuilder project ! For those unfamiliar with Maven, here is the definition of the project from the Maven web site :

Maven is a Java project management and project comprehension tool. Maven is based on the concept of a project object model (POM) in that all the artifacts produced by Maven are a result of consulting a well defined model for your project. Builds, documentation, source metrics, and source cross-references are all controlled by your POM

Maven offers tools to automatically manage your external library dependencies from a central repository, offers lots of plugins that can do things as various as compiling your code, verifying that the code in the project complies to coding standard, generate reports and web sites, generate SQL scripts from XML schema description files, etc... It is also now the tool used in a lot of open source projects, as it handles all the nitty-gritty of a project and leaves you more time to do the coding

This tool allows you to directly trigger Maven Goals (equivalent to Ant Targets) from your JBuilder project, including even setting dependencies on a Maven goal for a runtime configuration, just you can do with an Ant Target. This tool is also capable of generating a JBuilder library file containing all the Maven project dependencies, so that you may include the library file in the project and compile using the correct dependencies. Future versions of this tool might bring more features, such as editing the project file with IDE Wizards.
