The Maven 2 tutorial : A practical guide for Maven 2 users

Not so long ago on the Maven 2 users mailing list, someone complained Maven 2 documentation had the "worst documentation in the whole Apache projects". I am writting this tutorial as an attempt to make Maven 2 documentation one of the best in the whole Apache projects. It is also a constant evolving knowledge base adressing the most commons questions/issues. The format of this tutorial is inspired from the excellent "The  Java ^TM Tutorial"© wich can be found on Sun official web site.

This tutorial is split in several trails of different level wich are adressing specific aspects of Maven 2 use.
