Hm ... isnt the fact that Maven 2.x is deprecated reason enough to NOT offer it 
in Jenkins. From my memory 2.0.8 and 2.0.9 had some severe problems and only 
2.0.10 sort of fixed things. 

Personally I would think that you should restrict the list in Jenkins even 
excluding 2.x altogether. Or maybe just having 2.2.1 only.

And if someone really needs it they can always install whatever version (and 
pain) they choose via the tar.gz/zip archive method based off a different 
server.
