The advantages of maven are mainly three:

  • All maven projects are structured the same. If you change from one maven project to another, you automatically know where the sources are, how to compile them, how to generate the jar, etc, etc.
  • maven automatically downloads the bookstores you depend on from the internet, you save yourself searching for them and downloading them by hand
  • Allows you to compile the project from the command line, making it easy to automate a compilation in continuous integration tools such as jenkins.
  • Yes, maven is still used. It has almost completely replaced another older similar tool that is ant. But at the moment it is being displaced by gradle.

    Greetings.
