Very good suggestions.
Perhaps Murthy should share a bit about the audience (Maven users who
want to improve their understanding or Ant users who are interested in
changing) and what he wants them to know at the end of the presentation.
Is it a technical talk about the way Maven works or a "marketing" talk
about the benefits of using Maven and how it changes the development
environment and improves software quality?

Hi Murthy,
I think it's important that you talk about things that you're comfortable with
yourself. The fact that you're asking for resources in the way you do sounds
like you're being sent on a quest in partly unknown territory, which may not be
a great starting point to present (but I might have gotten the wrong impression
here entirely, sorry if so). If you are still learning Maven while doing a
major conversion from Ant, or you are an expert Maven user but you're the only
one in your group, it may be worthwhile to get some expert consultancy so that
you can adopt some best practices and to help you look good as the person
driving this project.
When I guided my company from Ant to Maven, I did a lot of separate
presentations, some of these were specific for our situation, some of these
were generically about Maven. In the generic presentations I covered subjects
like this:
Build
Lifecycle
Goals
Plugins
Dependency management
Artifacts
Dependencies
Scopes
Conflicts
Repositories
Versioning
Modules
Profiles
I would like to particularly call out "lifecycle" and "goals", since these concepts are
so very basic to Maven that they're easily overlooked, but they are oh-so fundamental and at the same time so
fundamentally different than Ant. And it's probably also these concepts that make Maven so much more than
just "an Ant that does dependency management".
Good luck with your presentation!
Feel free to ask for more information!
Best regards, Sander.
P.S.: what's up with your footer?

Subject: Need Help of Maveners to prepare for a talk on Maven
Hi All
I am asked by my org/boss to talk about my maven exploits for about half an
hour in front of our group. Having sought your help, earlier, for a pathing
jar, I am ready to talk about it. However, it involves a lot of ant, as I
don't
know how to do the same (copying files, generating manifest, etc.) in
Maven. Can you help me figure out what other topics can be general
enough for Maveners? I am thinking of Maven plugins, but don't know any
resources. I'd appreciate if you can kindly help me figure this out.
Thanks in anticipation.
