Finally some information concerning the Maven 2 project. It was really quiet for almost a year! A lot of development has gone into the project, and I haven't run the project yet, but I'm really exited to try it. The new features include:

  • TRANSITIVE DEPENDENCIES
  • increased performance due to Java code plugins
  • stopped doing double work (jar:jar will only create a jar, from what is in the build dir)

Too bad they don't have the site generation in place yet as this is the feature I use most. Kudos to the maven2 team!
