I'm planning on installing RC2,check the issues that arise, resolve them - and if all goes well, update install docs to link to RC2. I';ll have more news as the process unfolds.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Maven 1.0 RC2 released Date: Wed, 24 Mar 2004 11:40:41 +1100 From: Brett Porter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Maven Developers List <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Maven 1.0 RC2.
http://maven.apache.org/start/download.html
Maven is a Java project management and project comprehension tool. Maven is based on the concept of a project object model (POM). The intent of Maven is to make intra-project development highly manageable in the hopes of providing more time for cross-project development.
RC2 is a release candidate for Maven 1.0. The main focus for this release was
- Remove a memory leak in long-lived and multiple project builds
- Reworking the internals for more maintainability while retaining full backwards
compatibility with RC1.
- Many other bugfixes
For a complete list of changes in the Maven core, see JIRA: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10030&fixfor=10245
While no new features have been added to Maven's central architecture, RC2 includes all the latest releases of the plugins developed at Apache. Most plugins include bugfixes and new functionality since the RC1 release.
In addition, the following plugins have been added to the release:
- announcement: generates templated release announcements for a project
- aspectwerkz: Aspectwerkz integration
- caller: A goal interface for Maven plugins
- dashboard: A report plugin that aggregates reports from multiple projects
- javacc: generates code based on user-supplied Javacc/JJtree grammars
- jdiff: generates an api difference report between versions
- jetty: Jetty integration
- jira: generates a Maven report from JIRA
- multichanges: A report plugin that aggregates changes reports from multiple
projects
- nsis: generates a Windows Installer for your project using the Nullsoft
Installer System
The following plugins have had major upgrades since the last release:
- pdf: a complete rewrite now produces a much better PDF representation of
your project site.
- xdoc: Maven site's now have a new default look-and-feel and are more
customisable
For changes made to individual plugins since the last release, you can review
the release history at JIRA.
The following plugins are no longer distributed with Maven and must be downloaded
from an external source:
- cactus: download instructions at
http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/integration/maven.html
- word2html, was40: download from
http://maven-plugins.sf.net
