I'm responsible for the technical architecture of many projects at my location. One project in particular (still in active development with code released to production) will likely never upgrade past 2.0.4 because of the changes to dependency resolution. Although these changes are a good thing, problems will not show up in a build, but in the runtime environment; the most problematic ones are class loading issues with WebSphere, but occasionally I have had to deal with "invalid class" errors because somehow commons-collections 2.0 made it into the war when the project was compiled and tested against 3.2.
Anyway, I'm rambling. The project does not want to upgrade because we would likely need to stop all work for at least two days for a complete system test / regression test / fix pom cycle. After spending many weeks overall resolving issues that were deemed to be "maven brain damage" nobody wants the hassle. I am having success at convincing newer projects to start out using 2.0.8; so I am wondering how to easily maintain two maven versions for us developers on the technical architecture team -- is it as simple as swapping out MAVEN_HOME?
