Hello Apache Mahout developers, Several Apache Mahout build jobs are failing, they are configured to run with Apache Maven 2, while pom.xml has recently been changed to require Apache Maven 3. To fix this it's enough to update configuration of these jobs, so they use Apache Maven 3 to execute.
While at it, please also configure mahout-nightly job to deploy/release distribution archive, by appending: -Dmahout.skip.distribution=false to the Maven goals of the job. I think this will be useful, Mahout beginner which wants to use latest algorithms, will not have to build Mahout herself, to get nicely packaged distribution of Apache Mahout from Apache snapshots repository like https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/mahout/mahout-distribution/0.8-SNAPSHOT/ Current Maven goals for mahout-nightly job are "clean install deploy". That "install" is redundant, it's implied because of "deploy", both of these phases are in same, default lifecycle, executing up to deploy will run through install phase as well. Kind regards, Stevo Slavić.
