A "Hello World" from Maven, from scratch

Of course you have heard of Maven, the big daddy of all build and release tools, plus much more. If you have not, be glad that you are reading this document. Better late than never. :) Well the truth is that Maven has become the De facto tool of build and release in the Java world for some time now and hence it can't be ignored. But also, it is true that it's known to work in a slightly different manner than the others of the same league e.g. Ant, and hence it is a bit difficult to get started with and to feel comfortable about (at least I felt so). So, as I try to explore Maven as a tool, and take a peek under the hood, I thought I will share my notes as well alongside on this exploration of mine. It might help someone. If not, well, no problem, there is no dearth of space on the net, eh?! :)
