完全参考手册
还有谁比Nexus的出品公司sonatype更了解Maven的呢？so 戳下面的连接看reference

Maven ArcheType
ArcheType is a Maven project templating toolkit - http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html
Create project from ArcheType -- http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-plugin/usage.html
Create your own ArcheType -- http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-creating-archetypes.html
Maven 提供的一些ArcheTypes -- http://maven.apache.org/archetype/maven-archetype-bundles/
Maven Profile
Profile可以让我们定义一系列的配置信息，然后指定其激活条件。这样我们就可以定义多个profile，然后每个profile对应不同的激活条件和配置信息，从而达到不同环境使用不同配置信息的效果。

Maven Plugin
引用Plugin （ Referencing Plugin）
可以通过两种方式应用Plugin，groupId:artifact:version:goal 或者使用plugin的Prefix，例如下面的两个command效果是一样的。
mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler -Dmojo=compile -Dfull
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-help-plugin:2.2:describe -Dplugin=compiler -Dmojo=compile -Dfull
注意在maven中，一个插件目标（Goal）也被认为是一个Mojo
将Plugin加入你的Lifecycle
For example, let's say you have a goal display:time that
echos the current time to the commandline, and you want it to run in the process-test-resources phase to
indicate when the tests were started. This would be configured like so:
...
<plugin>
<groupId>com.mycompany.example</groupId>
<artifactId>display-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>time</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
怎样通过Prefix找到你的Plugin （Plugin Prefix Resolution）
By default, Maven will make a guess at the plugin-prefix to be used, by removing any instances of "maven" or "plugin" surrounded by dashes in the plugin's artifact ID. The conventional artifact ID formats to use are:
- maven-${prefix}-plugin - for official plugins maintained by the Apache Maven team itself (you must not use this naming pattern for your plugin, see this note for more informations)
- ${prefix}-maven-plugin - for plugins from other sources
By default, Maven will search the groupId org.apache.maven.plugins for prefix-to-artifactId mappings
默认，Maven会搜索apache groupId （repository）去匹配与prefix相符的plugin（用上面提到的规则），如果想把自己开发的plugin或第三方plugin也设置为搜索目标，咋办尼？
很简单，在~/.m2/settings.xml中加入pluginGroup即可
<pluginGroups> <pluginGroup>com.alibaba.org.apache.maven.plugins</pluginGroup> <pluginGroup>com.alibaba.maven.plugins</pluginGroup> </pluginGroups>

开发自己的Plugin
注意在Plugin命名时，maven-${prefix}-plugin 是Apache的保留方式，具有知识产权，最好不要做违背知识产权的事（infringement)
用${prefix}-maven-plugin
