Maven Project Configuration

We'll look at how to set up a Maven project and handle dependencies in this blog. We discussed dependency problems in the previous blog, and the maven project steps in to help.

So, let's create a maven project.

1. Open eclipse → Click on file → New → Other → Maven → Maven Project → Click on Next
   
   
   
   
   
2. Select Checkbox for "Create a simple project."
   

   
   

   Click on Next
3. Enter group ID and Artifact ID
   

   
   

   Click on Finish and your maven project will be created.
4. 

   
   There are 4 packages viz, src/test/java, src/test/resources, src/main/java and src/main/resources.
   All java files are stored in src/test/java and resources like excel or CSV files are stored in src/test/resources. Common utility java files are stored in src/main/java and external resources are stored in src/main/resources.
5. pom.xml is used to manage dependencies.

Now, let's add required dependencies into our maven project.

• Visit Maven Repository: Search/Browse/Explore (mvnrepository.com)
• Search Selenium java in search bar
• Click on selenium java option.
• Select latest version.
  
  
  
  this webpage will display.
• Copy that code and paste into pom.xml as shown
  

<dependencies>

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.seleniumhq.selenium/selenium-java -->

<dependency>

<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>

<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>

<version>3.141.59</version>

</dependency>

</dependencies>

Similarly, you can add other jar files as well.
