In this chapter, we've set up our environment for Felix development. Then we started up the Felix framework to ensure it works. We will cover the commands in Chapter 3. We've also looked at Maven and the Maven plugins made available by the Felix project.

Understand Maven life-cycles, phases and goals, and how plugins play a role in those life-cycles
Be aware of the Maven plugins provided by the Felix project
