# What is Maven?
[Apache Maven](http://maven.apache.org/) is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.


# Running as non-root
Maven needs the user home to download artifacts to, and if the user does not exist in the image an extra user.home Java property needs to be set.  By default there is a `maven` user created in this image with UID `1000`, which this container runs as.
