What we’re about
The Garden State Java User Group, Inc. (formerly the ACGNJ Java Users Group), in continuous operation since February 2001, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides a forum to promote the use of Java platforms, APIs, and language. We strive to facilitate interactive discussions and exchange of ideas relating to the application of Java.
Topics will primarily focus on JVM technologies such as Java EE, Jakarta EE, MicroProfile, Spring, Groovy and Kotlin. Topics on non-JVM technologies such as Meteor, AngularJS, and Rust may occasionally be presented.
We are proud members of the MicroProfile Working Group and the Jakarta EE Ambassadors and have adopted the Jakarta NoSQL specification.
All meetings are generally held on the second Tuesday of the month, but may change due to speaker availability. In-person meetings are usually held at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. On-line meetings are held via our YouTube channel.

Abstract
Frustrated with Apache Maven? Confused about how to control versions in multi-modules? Annoyed at how much of your build information is published to a maven repository when you publish your artifacts? Curious about Apache Maven?This session is for you! Slides are great to share theory, how about live coding? In this session, together, we will pick up difficult use cases that most of us encounter when managing our maven projects for build and deployment, especially with multiple modules.
Apache Maven 4 is a great improvement over previous versions and provides an ease-of-use and follows the "principle of least astonishment."
Come join to see how to solve build woes using the latest (and greatest) version of Apache Maven!
