What? You want a GOOD Maven manual? Real programmers don't use manuals.
Yeah, I know - they don't write them either (except for subversion, of course). As you might guess, I'm more of a system administrator than a programmer...
Fortunately, you don't really have to know too much about Maven if you're not a Java developer. The intricacies of the pom.xml file don't concern you. Possibly, the only Maven command you really have to know is "mvn deploy:deploy-file" which doesn't require a pom.xml file <http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-deploy-plugin/deploy-file-mojo.html>. And, if that command concerns you too much, you can simply revert to "curl". You do have to understand the Maven repository layout which is a fairly straight forward hierarchal affair and both Nexus and Artifactory cover that pretty well.
Thanks - the piece I need is how to map our project tags and branch/revision_numbers into the maven repo URLs, hopefully in a way that wouldn't break it for actual maven use since we do have some java developers here.
