How to Install Maven ?

Nowadays its very common for Java developers to use Maven tool for building war or ear file their applications instead of ant tool. Since Maven provides an easiest way of building and managing version of applications and relieves you from build path configurations in your eclipse ide.

 Of course many people knows how to configure how to download and configure maven in their machines. But I want to post it on my blog for my reference and newbies in java world.

 Just follow the below steps:
  •  Make sure Java (version 1.5 or 1.6 or 1.7 ) is installed on your machine and "JAVA_HOME" variable is added to environment variable list on windows as shown below image.(Windows start -> My Compuetr-> Right Click on ->Properties ->Advanced System Settings ->System Settings-> Click on "Environment Variables")
  • Download latest version of Maven (apache-maven-3.3.3-bin.zip) from Apache Website: http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi to the directory on your machien wherever you would like to install. Let us say you have installed it on C:\apache-maven-3.3.3, the it looks like below.

  •  Add "M2_HOME" and "MAVEN_HOME" to environment variables list as shown below. Actually  adding "M2_HOME" is enough to run maven, but some programs specifies to add "MAVEN_HOME" as maven home. So I feel it is safe to add both.
  •  Add maven to PATH variable as shown (%M2_HOME%\bin )in below image.


  • That's it.. done..To verify maven has been configured properly, run "mvn -v" from Command prompt. It will give following result.

    Note: If you face running "mvn -v" from command prompt like "bad command or file name", then run the command prompt as administrator. Just right on cmd window and you will get option to run as administrator.
Let me know in comments if you face any issue or errors.

WebSphere MQ Interview Questions

What is MQ and what does it do? Ans. MQ stands for MESSAGE QUEUEING. WebSphere MQ allows application programs to use message queuing to participate in message-driven processing. Application programs can communicate across different platforms by using the appropriate message queuing software products. What is Message driven process? Ans . When messages arrive on a queue, they can automatically start an application using triggering. If necessary, the applications can be stopped when the message (or messages) have been processed. What are advantages of the MQ? Ans. 1. Integration. 2. Asynchrony 3. Assured Delivery 4. Scalability. How does it support the Integration? Ans. Because the MQ is independent of the Operating System you use i.e. it may be Windows, Solaris,AIX.It is independent of the protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, LU6.2, SNA, NetBIOS, UDP).It is not required that both the sender and receiver should be running on the same platform What is Asynchrony? Ans. With messag...

Java Garbage Collection

Explain Garbage collection mechanism in Java? Garbage collection is one of the most important features of Java. The purpose of garbage collection is to identify and discard objects that are no longer needed by a program so that their resources can be reclaimed and reused. A Java object is subject to garbage collection when it becomes unreachable to the program in which it is used. Garbage collection is also called automatic memory management as JVM automatically removes the unused variables/objects (value is null) from the memory. Every class inherits finalize() method from java.lang.Object, the finalize() method is called by garbage collector when it determines no more references to the object exists. In Java, it is good idea to explicitly assign null into a variable when no more in use. In Java on calling System.gc() and Runtime.gc(), JVM tries to recycle the unused objects, but there is no guarantee when all the objects will garbage collected. Garbage collection is an automatic pro...
