http://people.apache.org/~hboutemy/Maven%20Versions.png (transparency represents current level of support, or more precisely is the inverse of support) In this drawing, we have the little 2.1 and 3.1 versions: I'd prefer avoiding a little 3.3 Or we tell people that even minor versions are the most stable versions to use. While at it, I'll do a little bit of advertising :) this drawing not only happens because of our discussion, but it's also because I'm preparing a talk with Arnaud Héritier for Devoxx France, in April in Paris, about Java versions and Maven tooling to build for multiple Java versions: animal sniffer, toolchains, ... http://cfp.devoxx.fr/2015/talk/FEM-9840/Quand_Java_prend_de_la_vitesse,_Apache_Maven_vous_garde_sur_les_rails We'll do it in french, sorry for non-french speaking people :) If some Maven dev wants to make a talk about this, don't hesitate to contact Arnaud and I: we can share the slides (while creating them) and help translating. It would be interesting to have multiple Maven devs doing the same talk in multiple languages and countries Regards, Hervé --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
