- **Project Object Model (POM)**: The Project Object Model, almost
always referred as the POM for brevity, is the metadata that Maven
needs to work with your project. Its name is "project.xml" and it is
located in the root directory of each project.

- **Artifact**: An artifact is something that is either produced or
used by a project. Examples of artifacts produced by Maven for a
project include: JARs, source and binary distributions, WARs. Each

- **GroupId**: A group ID is a universally unique identifier for a
project. While this is often just the project name (eg.
`commons-collections`), it is helpful to use a fully-qualified
package name to distinguish it from other projects with a similar
name (eg. `org.apache.maven`).

- **Dependency**: A typical Java project relies on libraries to build
and/or run. Those are called "dependencies" inside Maven. Those
dependencies are usually other projects' JAR artifacts, but are
referenced by the POM that describes them.

- **Plug-in**: Maven is organized in plugins. Every piece of
functionality in Maven is provided by a plugin. Plugins provide
goals and use the metadata found in the POM to perform their task.
Examples of plugins are: jar, eclipse, war. Plugins are primarily
written in Java, but Maven also supports writing plug-ins in
Beanshell and Ant Scripting.

mojo is a Java class that implements the
