I am sure that you are right.
My Google search turned up almost 2 million results.

I just grabbed the first one that had enough in it to learn enough XML to read a POM file.

        So, how long does it take to learn XML? Can you recommend me
        good sources,
        like webpages or books?

            I would argue that to be a competent, modern computer

            need to learn XML.

            There are many powerful things that can be accomplished
            once you have that
            knowledge.

            Hi Nayana,

                Is it necessary to learn XML in order to lear Maven?

            No, if you use Eclipse you can configure your POM in its
            graphical editor.
            Other IDEs may have similar things.

            Even if you edit POMs by hand, XML is "human readable"
            meaning you don't
            really need an in-depth understanding of XML in order to
            hack together a
            Maven POM.

            My definition of "learn XML" would be more like:
            * Understand basics: elements vs. attributes, etc.
            * Understand XML validation; e.g. XSD and DTD
            * Understand XSLT stylesheets
            * Understand parsing: SAX, DOM and XPath

            And you certainly do not need to know those things to
            configure a Maven
            POM.

            Regards,
            Curtis
