Yes you're right that shouldn't be there as this has been mirrored in all Apache mirrors as a real release...
The procedure http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/maven-core-release.html says: " For non-alpha/beta releases, release candidates are produced before the actual release. Checkout https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/maven/maven-3 then create the necessary directory tree. " @Robert I moved the binaries. As the vote is not finished they shouldn;t be in the official Apache release download area svn mv https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/maven/maven-3/3.8.0 https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/maven/maven-3/ Committing transaction...
