In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Plugins and goals can be included declaratively in the pom file to customize the execution of a project."

A block of code is set as follows:

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.packt.mvneclipse</groupId>
    <artifactId>mvneclipse</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
</project>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

<!--General project Information -->
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>com.packt.mvneclipse</groupId>
  <artifactId>hello-project</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <name>hello-project</name>
  <url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
  <properties>1
  <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </snapshots>
    <id>central</id>
    <name>Maven Repository Switchboard</name>
    <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

set PATH =%PATH%;%M2_HOME%in

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "To make m2eclipse use the external Maven, navigate to Window | Preference in Eclipse, and the Preference window appears."
