One of the key benefits of using Maven is its effective dependency management mechanism
.
As the project complexity grows, the number of Jar files and other external APIs that might be needed for the project to consume/interact might grow. This might lead to difficulties in managing such dependencies along with appropriate versions.
With Maven, all dependencies of your project are maintained in a single pom.xml file
. Maven takes care of downloading these dependencies into the local repositories and makes them available for the project.
