28 June 2004 - Apache Maven 1.0 RC4 Released

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the Maven 1.0-rc4 release!

http://maven.apache.org/start/download.html

Maven is a project management and project comprehension tool. Maven is based on the concept of a project object model: builds, documentation creation, site publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from the project object model. Maven also provides tools to create source metrics, change logs based directly on source repository, and source cross-references.

Maven 1.0 RC4 is the final release candidate for Maven 1.0 (and this time we mean it!)

Changes in this version include:

New Features:

  • Support NTLM authentication on a remote repository. Issue: MAVEN-1332. Thanks to george wang.

Fixed bugs:

  • Sort all installed plugins. Issue: MAVEN-1320. Thanks to Miguel Griffa.
  • Fix HTTP BASIC authentication for remote repos. Issue: MAVEN-1273. Thanks to Andreas Peschka.
  • Repository element was broken for non-cvs connections Issue: MAVEN-1298.

Changes:

  • Set maven.plugin.user.dir to ${maven.home.local}/plugins by default, move maven.plugin.unpacked.dir to ${maven.home.local}/cache.
  • Read local plugin jars from maven.plugin.user.dir instead of maven.plugin.unpacked.dir.
  • Use commons-httpclient for http downloads from the repository.

Plugin changes:

  • The deploy plugin has been merged into the artifact plugin. The artifact plugin is used for all artifact deployments now, and supports the old-style deployment transparently.
  • Plenty of bugfix releases of other plugins - refer to the individial plugin websites or release announcements.
  • Addition of the new RAR plugin.

We hope you enjoy using Maven! If you have any questions, please consult:
