There is a difference of opinion on this.

I say Freestyle is your only man

KK says Maven 2/3 is great (KK wrote it originally)

Olivier says Maven 3 works (Olivier added the Maven 3 support)

It might be a matter of personal preference...

Though despite their many efforts KK & Olivier have been unable to convince
me that Maven 2/3 project types work *every* time... I say 90-95% of the
time they are fine, but when they go bad they go spectacularly bad (i.e.
trying to figure out what the build is doing is next nor near impossible as
it does not behave the same as executing it yourself from the CLI)

DISCLOSURE:

KK & I both work for CloudBees who provide Jenkins as a Service in the
cloud among other things.

Olivier & I are both on the Apache Maven Project Management Committee and
committers to the Maven project.
