Current Status

We are currently working on Maven 1.0 Beta 7.

20 August 2002 - Maven 1.0 Beta 6 is released!

This version is primarily a bugfix release. Changes in this version include:

• Manifests are created properly within JARs. We had a temporary glitch when moving from Ant 1.4.1 to Ant 1.5.
• Tags created with the <define:tag/> will now execute N times within the same goal.
• Property files precedence has been changed so that project defaults can be overriden by a project local build.properties, and those in turn can be overriden by {user.home}/build.properties.
• The <deploy:copy-deps/> tag will now take an optional excludes attribute which will accept a list dependency ids where each dependency that is listed will be excluded from the copy.
• Execution of the maven.bat file has been corrected for Win9x systems.
• Time stats shown at the end of a build are now correct.
• AspectJ plug-in has been added.
• Eclipse plug-in has been added.

12 August 2002 - Maven 1.0 Beta 5 is released!

We finally got 1.0 Beta 5 out the door. Whew! There are still some issues to resolve before a full 1.0 release, primarily involving some fixes to the inheritance mechanism and some fixes for Ant 1.5. There will probably be two more betas before the 1.0 release.

5 August 2002 - Collaborating with Ibiblio!

The folks at Ibiblio are now hosting Maven's central repository! After a short period of working together we now have a highly reliable central repository that has the bandwidth to support the usage we hope that Maven gets! Many thanks to John Reuning for facilitating the creation of the central Maven repository at Ibiblio.

25 March 2002 - Collaborating with Style.tigris.org

The Maven team is now collaborating with Style.tigris.org. The look and feel of all Maven-generated sites is due in part to the CSS gurus at Style. Thanks to the help of Daniel Rall and Todd Fahrner for establishing Style.tigris.org so that we can collaborate!
