Hi all, In a project I am currently working on - which is just about to start with the construction phase - we are considering to use maven. I have been encountering maven in previous projects as well and based on these experiences i was quite sure I will use it on many others as well.
However when i see the new roadmap description on maven site : <<<<<<Maven 2.0 is a complete rewrite. It will not be backwards compatible with any of the Maven 1.x releases>>>>>>, i am having doubts on what exactly should we do right now. To take off with the current release (1.0.2) and wait for a complete rewrite of our build scripts? How "complete" will that rewrite actually have to be? All what the explanation in the roadmap leaves us with is a bit of hope that attempts will be made to stay backward compatible in the new 2.0 release. What about the "conceptual approach", how many things can we expect to be different, new or completely dissapear (multiproject, repository, ...goals)? Could someone point me to a document/person that can give a bit more of vision/explanation concerning these issues? What would you suggest to a project that is just about to jump into maven? Thanks. -Sejo
