Ok, we're happy to help out early adopters, but please keep in mind that Maven2 is alpha software, not expected to have a final release until August - so you may have to do a little work get things going properly. > But what is the best workflow to use maven (2) ? > > For example I have an existing software project which I want to develop > very incremently.

We have some tools in Maven 1.0 to help prepare releases that we will be adding to 2.0-alpha-2. This manages updating the POM, tagging, etc. You may also like to use the SNAPSHOT facility to publish incremental builds, perhaps even have your continuous integration environment do that, then promote builds to be releases. Though focused on m1, these general principles might help: http://maven.apache.org/using/bestpractices.html http://maven.apache.org/using/releasing.html > But I guess I can also use maven to commit my changes to cvs dialy ? You could, though I think this is really more useful for automated changes and releases. Generally, it's better to use your existing IDE and tools to review and commit changes. > Does that already works with maven 2 ?
