## What is Apache Maven?

**Apache Maven** is a Java-based project management and automation tool. It provides a multitasking framework for developers to ease the complete build lifecycle for Java applications. Maven is pre-defined and declared in an XML format called POM (Project Object Model) and referred to as ‘pom.xml.’ It can also be used for other languages like C#, Scala, Ruby, etc.  
Using Maven framework, we can easily manage following tasks in any project-

* Build cycle
* Project Documentation
* Report Checks
* Scrums management
* Release Information

Basic uses of Maven are-

* Enforces a standard directory structure.
* Provide a reusable and easy to maintain project structure.
* Resolve packages dependencies.
* Provide a configuration management framework.

**Download Appium Maven Dependencies**

Before start writing APPIUM dependency test with Maven, we need to download Appium Maven dependency from Appium JAR download file from [Maven central repository](http://search.maven.org/) website.

[![Download Appium Maven Dependencies](https://www.guru99.com/images/Datastage/072916_1116_AppiumDesir1.png)](https://www.guru99.com/images/Datastage/072916%5F1116%5FAppiumDesir1.png)

or directly add below mentioned POM.xml artifact:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
  <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
  <version>3.4.1</version>
</dependency>

Please go through our [Maven tutorial](https://www.guru99.com/maven-jenkins-with-selenium-complete-tutorial.html) to learn how to configure Maven with Eclipse.

Clicking on Finish button. It will open a new class on the defined Group Id (AppiumTest) name.

**Step 3)** To start with Appium script. Right click on ‘src/main/java’ from left side explorer window. Then select New >> class. Write the Appium code inside the selected class.

If in the case of default pom.xml does not exist then just add all Maven Appium dependencies. (extracted from Maven central repository website}
