Question

I generally use "Java project" to import Selenium test cases. What if i wanted to use Maven ? Should I create the project at the beginning as "Maven project"? What is the difference between to of them these both should provide the tester same test steps.

Answer 1

Yes, there would be no difference in your test steps.

Maven is a way to build your java project and is excellent for handling dependencies.

So you would create it as a "Maven Project" and add Selenium as a dependency.

This shows you how to add Selenium dependency to Maven- http://www.seleniumhq.org/download/maven.jsp
