Hi all,
Within 2 weeks I will do a talk with Maarten about Maven 4.
Part of that are some slides about previous major releases that should
clearly explain why it was a major release at not the next minor.
In short I came with this list:
M1 -> M2: (breaking change, migration required)
modelVersion: 3.0.0 -> 4.0.0
xsd: https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-v3_0_0.xsd ->
https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd
(as doc):
https://maven.apache.org/archives/maven-1.x/reference/maven-model/3.0.2/mave
n.html -> https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.9.9/maven-model/maven.html
Spod: project.xml -> pom.xml
plugin: written in Jelly (=executable XML) -> written in Java
repository layout: /repository/maven/jars/maven-1.0-beta-8.jar
-> /repository/org/apache/maven/maven-core/2.2.1/maven-core-2.2.1.jar
introduction of lifecycles
M2->M3: (migration required for reporting plugins)
Extract dependency/artifact related code to separate
independent library: Aether
Extract maven-reporting to separate independent library:
maven-reporting-api + maven-reporting-impl
Maven-reactor-plugin -> embedded
(https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-reactor-plugin/index.html)
(for the end-user most changes were invisible, as they were mainly under the
hood)
Did I miss something important and are these statements correct?
Thanks,
Robert
