There's not much to learn, unlike M1->M2, which was a bit groundbreaking, M2->M3 is much more backwards compatible. Most of the changes are in the internals, not in the usage. From the user's perspective, there are a few more command line parameters that can be used to optimize the build process. The POM structure is unchanged, most plugins are still there and work the same way, the command line syntax is the same. > But I am sure Thomas had arguments in favor of Maven3... he did not mention > them. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
