Create a Maven build project

In this tutorial, you create a project that builds the open source product JUnit. The source code is downloaded from GitHub (an open source code repository) and built with Maven.

Learning objectives

In this tutorial, you learn how to complete these tasks:

Create a Git repository from which your project downloads the source for JUnit.
Create a build process and associate an agent pool to it.
Create a job that checks-out the JUnit source from GitHub and uses Maven to build JUnit, and run tests and generate test reports.
Create templates that define properties. You supply values for these properties when you create the project.
Create a project that is based on the templates you created.
Run a build and monitor its progress.
Examine build details and troubleshoot problems.
