what technolody we will use to build a website chapter one verse one ##1 what technolody we will use to build a website ###1.1 Maven I have built website using java since I was in the colledge. At that time I used struts spring and hibernate. As you know that, when we build website we always import many dependency libraries called jar files. What about me ? Yes I also use many libraries and at that time I have never heard of maven. I downloaded dependency jars and copy them into the website lib directory. Everything is changed when I come across with Maven. I will not store the dependency jars any more. What I have to do is just declear the java dependency like this below: ``` <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework</groupId> <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId> <version>3.2.8.RELEASE</version> </dependency> ``` So the maven will help us to download all the dependency jar files. Never mind if you don`t know how to do right now. I will make a step by step tutorial in the next few chapters. One word, Why we use maven ? When we tell maven the groupId artifactId and version, maven will take care of everything left. Question : Where can I find the groupId artifactId and version ? Answer : The maven center repository will tell us and the website is [http://search.maven.org](http://search.maven.org)
