# Maven Information | |
This page is intended to provide an insight into basic [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) usage for users that are not all that familiar with [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) projects. | |
It is by no means a tutorial and is designed to be more of a *quickstart* to get you up and running. | |
You can find a really good [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) tutorial here: [http://books.sonatype.com/mvnex-book/reference/public-book.html](http://books.sonatype.com/mvnex-book/reference/public-book.html) | |
It is assumed that: | |
- You have downloaded and installed [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) and that you can run **mvn --version** from any command prompt (or console). | |
- You have downloaded and installed [Subversion](http://subversion.apache.org/) and that you can run **svn --version** from any command prompt or console. | |
It is also assumed you have downloaded one of the following: | |
- One of the example projects from [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk/examples]() | |
- The entire project source from [http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk](http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk) | |
Use [Subversion](http://subversion.apache.org/) to checkout the example sources from a console like so: | |
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomee/tomee/trunk/examples/[example] | |
Or that you may of course also be using your own project pom.xml | |
If you want to use the latest snapshot locate the *<repositories>* section in your pom.xml and ensure the following repository exists: | |
<repositories> | |
<repository> | |
<id>apache-m2-snapshot</id> | |
<name>Apache M2 Snapshot Repository</name> | |
<url>http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/</url> | |
<releases> | |
<enabled>false</enabled> | |
</releases> | |
<snapshots> | |
<enabled>true</enabled> | |
</snapshots> | |
</repository> | |
</repositories> |
