The Maven team is pleased to announce the Maven 1.0-rc3 release! http://maven.apache.org/start/download.html
Maven 1.0 RC3 is the final release candidate for Maven 1.0. Maven is a project management and project comprehension tool. Maven is based on the concept of a project object model: builds, documentation creation, site publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from the project object model. Maven also provides tools to create source metrics, change logs based directly on source repository, and source cross-references. Changes in this version include: New Features: o Introduce a backwards compatibility option maven.property.inheritance, which disables the functionality when set to false. Issue: MAVEN-1255. o Show help on how to submit a bug report if Maven dies with an unexpected exception o Add maven.remote.group to defaults.properties o Add sort attribute to reactor tag. o Add collectOnly and collectionVar attributes to reactor tag.
