The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven 4.0.0-alpha-7.
Apache 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. Maven 4.0.0-alpha-7 is available via https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi This in alpha release, not suitable for production. If you hit any problem, please raise a JIRA issue or send an email to the mailing list.
