Looks all good to me. The only thing I would potentially add is a stronger reference to the fact that Maven 2.2 is EOL and completely unsupported and that even early 3.x releases are following the way of the dodo so it is important to upgrade to a new Maven version if they want to have access to new features and bug fixes.
