 Q32. Have you heard of Ban Duplicate Classes Maven enforcer plugin ? What is its use ?Maven
Ans. Yes , we have been using this plugin with our projects and its purpose is to warn and stop the Build if there are duplicates of the same package and class are being carried either directly or through transitive dependencies. the duplicate could be coming through different types of dependencies or through different versions of the same dependency. Its purpose is to make sure that there is only one copy thats being used at compile time and runtime and hence shouldnt later result in runtime problems.

 Q33. How to tackle duplicate classes in maven build ?Maven
Ans. The simplest way is to ignore them if Maven enforcer plugin is complaining about it but it may lead to runtime problems later.

We can do the dependency:tree to see from where these duplicate ones are coming and hence can exclude the duplicate one.

 Q34. What are different dependency scopes in Maven ?Maven
Ans. Compile

This is the default scope. Compile dependencies are available in all classpaths of a project. Moreover, these dependencies are propagated to dependent projects.

Provided

This is much like compile, but indicates you expect the JDK or a container to provide the dependency at runtime.

Runtime

This scope indicates that the dependency is not required for compilation, but is for execution.

Test

This scope indicates that the dependency is is only available for the test compilation and execution phases. This scope is not transitive.

System

This scope is similar to provided except that you have to provide the JAR which contains it explicitly.

 Q47. What is the difference between Maven and Jenkins ? Tools
Ans. Maven is a build tool whereas Jenkins is continuous integration system.

So Jenkins is kind of a wrapper around SCM and Build Tool for continuous integration and deployment.
