The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Maven jar Plugin, version 2.3.2 and maven-archiver 2.4.2 in a combined release.
This plugin provides the capability to build jars, and the maven archiver is used to create custom archives that are configured from the POM. You can find more information at: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-jar-plugin/ http://maven.apache.org/shared/maven-archiver/ Specific news for this release is the support for java7 file attributes, which can give a noticeable performance boost on linux and mac running java7. Certain performance improvements can also be expected on Java1.5/Java6 on linux and mac. Both releases require java 1.5 or newer. Java7 users of other plugins such as maven-ear-plugin, maven-rar-plugin, maven-war-plugin and maven-source-plugin may consider adding the updated maven-archiver as a dependency to these plugins until new versions are released.
