Maven Crash Course (Udemy.com)

Create a multi module maven java web applicaiton project in easy steps

Created by: Bharath Thippireddy

Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 16,175 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This Udemy course packs the basics of Apache Maven into 6.3 hours: installing it, building a project from the command line, understanding the POM, and working through a multi-module web application in Eclipse. Bharath Thippireddy teaches it in short, tightly cut lectures rather than long lecture blocks. It suits Java developers who already know the language and want a fast, practical path into the build tool their team uses, not a theory-first tour of build systems in general.

Reviewers consistently call the explanations clear and the pace easy to follow, and one reviewer singles out the final quiz as genuinely useful for reviewing the material. The instructor gets credit for boiling a fussy tool down to what matters. The complaints cluster around scope creep: several students came for Maven and got detours into Spring Boot, Jenkins, Nexus, and Sonar instead, and a few call the later sections superficial or say old examples throw errors nobody has answered in years.

At 6.3 hours across 137 lectures it is a quick add rather than a semester commitment, and the September 2026 update means it is not stale. Next to longer Java build-tool courses, it earns its place by staying short and hands-on rather than exhaustive. Skip the Jenkins and Spring bonus sections if all you want is Maven itself, and this does the job well for anyone who needs to get productive with it this week.

Best forJava developers who need Maven basics and a working multi-module project fast.
Skip it ifYou want a Maven-only deep dive without side trips into Spring or Jenkins.

Pros

  • Short, tightly focused lectures that get to the point fast
  • A final quiz one reviewer calls genuinely useful for review
  • Hands-on multi-module Java web app built step by step
  • Recently updated in September 2026, so content is not stale

Cons

  • Drifts into Spring Boot, Jenkins, Nexus and Sonar instead of pure Maven
  • Some sections feel superficial for anyone wanting real depth
  • A few examples are outdated, with setup errors reviewers say went unanswered
The course is very well organized, and the explanation is very clear and easy to understand. He goes into reasonable depth when explaining the topics.
Murad Shabanli, a student

Listed as all levels, though the course listing notes prior Java and web development background makes it easier, even though it's not required.

The start is good, but it’s extremely superficial. Under normal circumstances, you wouldn’t expect 3-minute videos anyway, but they lack depth. Explaining topics this way is a bit odd because I think it goes against the logic of programming. Second, I think the instructor jumped from topic to topic because they felt the course was too short. This created some confusion. It’s a good course, but you should watch it without wasting too much time. Since it’s so superficial, skip the two unnecessary sections without trying the exercises and get the necessary materials from other courses.

By Juan Carlos Enrique Lance on 6/16/2025

This course was very good and easy to understand. It clearly explains the features that Maven offers. The final questionnaire is very useful for reviewing the topics in depth. I especially liked that each concept is explained with examples — this made the learning experience very effective. Many thanks to Bharath, and best regards!

By Anonymized User on 10/23/2022

I was expecting a bit more depth on maven topics, and not so much on spring boot or jenkins. The course is not bad to have a little taste, but maven has a lot more to offer that is not covered in this course. Still, I appreciate the effort to make these lessons possible.

By Sourav Ken on 4/30/2022

It’s a crash course and not specialization on subject matter and that’s what you cover. It was fun from beginning to till section 10 Profiles. After that it started to involve other independent technologies like Sonar, Jenkins, AWS etc. Section 11 onwards, power of Maven and its real world capabilities you introduced. Overall its very informative. As a suggestion, it will be helpful if you can also add some videos on how to imports real world maven projects and try to remove all the issues.

@bharath sir as you told i have done everything ,i am using windows sonarqube ,the problrem is commands. If i use the command that used i am getting something like FATAL | wrapper | Unable to open configuration file.how can I overcome this and even i am not getting the local host page i hope if i clear this then i will be getting localhost

By Alex Golub on 3/28/2022

Outstanding Maven crash course that will get you up to speed with maven build tool. I've learned how to read pom.xml file and how to manage dependencies, plugins, create mutli-module project and even how to deploy artifact onto dockerized local repo and much more, AMAZING!!! Excellent course with on to the point explanations of each subject. Hands down 5/5 looking forward to take more DevOps and Spring related courses. Thank you sir, for your knowledge sharing

By Shekar Oruganti on 8/23/2020

good, was expecting more on multi module projects creation like a project with some two or three modules out of which should be som EAR or WAR module where we should be having the final artifact generated when we run the project which is most common way of creating multi module projects. and also in the begining of the bonus lecture of jenkins can hear as you'll be showing the creation of pipeline but that part is not there here which is little disappointed as you said that it'll be covered in the begining video of the bonus sectiong. but finally, yes i got a good knowledge on this course about maven and also about spring boot importance and basic concepts and jenkins. thanks for the bonus classes.

By Anonymized User on 1/26/2019

This course is on maven. But there is lots of things on to create a spring project with maven. For my point of view there should be less focus on to create a spring project. Focus should be on maven. There is nothing on mvn phases and parameters. I think there shold be a small lecture on these topics.

By Sunitha Bhakthavatsalam on 10/4/2018

Developing end to end product application using Maven and Spring was very interactive and great learning. It was not boring like other lectures :) because lot of programing was included. Assignment was good too, it would have helped if you had provided sample code to refer for assignment as well.

By Dot business on 1/7/2018

Bharath is an AMAZING instructor, I have him to thank for contributing to my future. He teaches in a way that I can refer to quickly and get back up to speed. Definitely worth referring. No waffle or showing off just to the point clean explanation. He explains how code should be....CLEAN. Well Done Bharath :-)
