The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Maven
3.0-alpha-6.
Maven is a project comprehension and build tool, designed to simplify
the process of maintaining a healthy development lifecycle for your
project. You can read more here:

release should have a glance at the compatibility notes for known
differences between Maven 3.0 and Maven 2.x:
