I have been using since Maven pre-1.0, and actually have it in production in a couple larger projects and have been happy with the general documentation and maturity of the maven 1.0, 1.1 series.
However, I am supporting Jeroen's perception of Maven 2.0's "features are lacking or not-quite-there-yet" statement. Some of the great things of Maven 1.0/1.1 that developers have switched to and rely on are not available yet in Maven 2.0 -- and this may be more about the plugins themselves rather than the Maven 2.0 core. I know there have been discussions/threads regarding backward compatability for plugins that may help the feature-list. And as for documentation, well, examples are worth a lot more than several chapters of theory/reasoning/why-we-are-planning-ahead-this-way documentation. The people on the mailing lists, both committers and the user-base, have been very supportive regardless if there was documentation related to the issue. :-) Keep Maven rolling! -D > -----Original Message----- > From: Peschier J.
