The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Maven
3.0-beta-1.
Maven is a project comprehension and build tool, designed to simplify
the process of maintaining a healthy development lifecycle for your
project. You can read more here:
http://maven.apache.org/
Downloads of source and binary distributions are listed in our download
section:
http://maven.apache.org/download.html
A major goal of Maven 3.0 is to be compatible, to the extent possible,
with existing plugins and projects designed for Maven 2.x. Users
interested in testing this beta release should have a glance at the
compatibility notes for known differences between Maven 3.0 and Maven 2.x:
