Maven

Maven, a Yiddish word meaning accumulator of knowledge, is a java build system. Maven specifies a standard way to build projects, a clear definition of what the project consisted of, an easy way to publish project information, and a way to share JARs across several projects.

Maven is a tool that can be used for building and managing any Java based project.
