05 October 2005 - Apache Maven 2.0 Beta 3 Now Available

The Apache Maven team is proud to announce the third beta release of Maven 2.0.

Download it from http://maven.apache.org/maven2/download.html

Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information.

This release includes a number of bug fixes [1] since the previous release on 27 September.

Maven 2.0 is a rewrite of the popular Maven application to achieve a number of new goals, and to provide a stable basis to take it into the future.

This release is considered stable with a feature set that encompasses and supersedes Maven 1.0. The final release is expected to be backwards compatible with this beta, with a primary goal of bugfixes, usability improvements, and documentation.

This core release is independent of the plugins available. Further releases of plugins will be made separately. See Maven Plugin Matrix [2] for more information.

Project Info -- Apache Maven

Maven is a project development management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model: builds, dependency management, documentation creation, site publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from the declarative file. Maven can be extended by plugins to utilise a number of other development tools for reporting or the build process.
