The Apache Maven team are proud to announce the second alpha release of Maven 2.0.
Download it from: http://maven.apache.org/maven2/download.html Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. This release includes 76 bug fixes and enhancements (http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&pid=10500&fixfor=11020) since the first release on 8 April. Maven 2.0 is a rewrite of the popular Maven application to achieve a number of goals, and to provide a stable basis to take it into the future. While it can be considered quite stable, and future versions are now expected to retain a high amount of backwards compatibility, this is still a technology preview, and not yet complete or considered ready for a production environment. The main new features in this release are: * Basic site generation * Improved error handling * Automatic plugin updates * Published Mojo and Plugin API * Inclusion of Ant tasks for Maven 2.0 This release is expected to be much more architecturally stable, making early adoption a possiblity. At this point, there are still only the core plugins available. We hope you enjoy using Maven!
