Maven shipping with Mac OS X

Almost two years ago I wrote about installing and using Maven, the Java project management and build automation tool. Yesterday I installed a new hard-disk on my MacBook Pro and installed everything from scratch. When I was going to install Maven again, by chance I noticed that is wasn’t necessary any longer. The standard Mac OS X 10.5 already ships with Maven 2.0.6 installed, even without the Apple developer tools . Great – this saves some time and shows that this consumer OS is out of the box already a good system for software development (of course it can always be improved).

Posted in Mac OS X, maven.
