The next alpha release of maven 2 is now ready. I’ve tried it
with
very good impressions, things are going the right way. The main
problem
is the wrong and missing information (POMs) about the jars in the
repository, but it’s getting better, and will improve faster as soon
as
more people use it.
In the other hand I’m using maven 1.1 beta 1 and the only
problem I’ve found was MAVEN-1625
when trying to install a plugin in the repository. Seems that the
memory usage was greatly improved and some odd problems with jelly are
fixed.
The Apache Maven team are proud to announce the third 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 83 bug fixes and enhancements since the previous
release on 13 May.
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:
* Improved dependency
management
* Build profiles for
environment specific settings and dependencies
* Finalised build lifecycle
*
Proper handling of derived dependency type such as sources, javadocs
and ejb clients
* Beanshell plugin
support
* Improved reporting support,
including internationalisation.
*
Improvements to the Ant tasks
* Better
plugin management, with the ability to select specific versions for
use
* Various plugin
improvements
This release is very near to being feature complete, and the next
release will be a feature complete beta-1.

On the bright side MAVEN-1625 is fixed on the current CVS builds, I am not sure if they released a new version of the plugin yet though.
