Stephen, why is it that maven is recommending not to use 2.1.0.

Will you have a link that hints major issues with it? When I downloaded
Maven, this page http://maven.apache.org/download.html was recommending
2.1.0 also.

Now I see that it is removed from that page.

There are only two official release versions listed:

2.0.10
2.2.1

These are the current recommended versions of Maven to run.

Yes the prereq is 2.1.0, but AFAIK we are recommending that nobody use
2.1.0 or 2.2.0
