Which version of Maven is recommended for a new project?

2006-11-30 Thread Aaron Metzger


For a new project which intends to whole-heartedly embrace Maven2 and 
lots of plugins, what is the community consensus as to which version of 
Maven we should start with?


1) The stable (but stale) released Maven 2.0.4?
2) The 2.0.x branch built from subversion?
3) The 2.1.x branch built from subversion?

Will the next stable release of Maven2 be in the 2.0.x family or will it 
be in the 2.1.x family?




http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-building-m2.html
If you have checked out trunks, the maven-2.0.x directory will contain the 
Maven 2.0 source code, and the components directory will contain the 2.1 source 
code.


Thanks,
Aaron

Does your organization have a need to tightly control the versions of 
the jar dependencies you use?  If not than maven-2.04 should work just fine.

The stable version is recommended for daily use.  (Stale?  Most of
Maven's functionality is in the plugins, and there have been many
plugin releases since the 2.0.4 core release was done.)

If you're comfortable on the bleeding edge and want to help with
development, by all means build it yourself and join in!

There was some recent talk of doing a 2.0.5 release.  If I had to
guess (which I do) I'd say there will be one or  two more 2.0 releases
before 2.1 is stable.
