Building Java using Maven on Jenkins

🛠️ Building Java Using Maven on Jenkins: A Comprehensive Hands-On Course

Course Overview 🚀

Are you feeling lost in the sea of software development tools and practices? This course is your compass through the maze! We'll journey through the landscape of modern Java development, integrating essential tools like Git, Docker, Jenkins, and Maven. You'll not only understand how these tools work individually but also how they complement each other in a cohesive CI/CD pipeline.

Why Take This Course? 🤔

• Tangible Skills: With hands-on examples provided in a Git repository, you'll build real-world Java projects.
• End-to-End Process: From setting up your development environment to deploying a Java library using Jenkins declarative pipelines.
• Comprehensive Coverage: Learn about containerization, configuration as code, static code analysis, unit testing, code coverage, and more!

Course Structure 📚

This course is meticulously organized into three key sections:

(1) Infrastructure Setup 🏗️

• Git via GitHub: Get started with SSH for secure version control.
• Docker and Docker Compose: Master containerization to run your applications in isolated environments.
• Jenkins via Docker Compose: Set up Jenkins within a container on your local machine.

(2) Building Java 🧱

• Java 101: Understand the basics of converting Java code into executable JARs.
• Maven and Java: Leverage Maven for managing project builds, testing, and publishing.
• Code Coverage with Maven: Implement and set up quality gates for code coverage.
• Static Code Analysis with Maven: Run PMD to ensure your code adheres to best practices.
• Publishing a Java Library: Learn how to share your JARs in a Maven repository.

(3) Jenkins Automation 🤖

• Freestyle Job: Manually orchestrate the build, test, and delivery process.
• Scripted Pipeline: Use Groovy scripts to automate your pipeline steps.
• Declarative Pipeline: Craft a robust and maintainable CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins' declarative syntax.

What You Will Learn 🎓

• Hands-On Experience: Follow along with real examples in a Git repository to understand the concepts in practice.
• Containerization: Dive into containerizing Java applications with Docker and Docker Compose.
• CI/CD Pipelines: Explore Jenkins pipelines to automate your build, test, and deploy process.
• Maven Mastery: Gain proficiency in using Maven for Java builds, testing, code coverage, static code analysis, and publishing.
• Quality Assurance: Set up quality gates for your project to ensure high standards of code health.
