The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven 4.0.0-beta-5
WORD OF WARNING: there are big issues discovered in beta-5 post staging. Still, we wanted it on Central due to the latest v4 API changes. Apache Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central piece of information. Maven 4.0.0-beta-5 is available via https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi The core release is independent of plugin releases. Further releases of plugins will be made separately. If you have any questions, please consult: - the web site: https://maven.apache.org/ - the maven-user mailing list: https://maven.apache.org/mailing-lists.html - the reference documentation: https://maven.apache.org/ref/4.0.0-beta-5/ For more information read https://maven.apache.org/docs/4.0.0-beta-5/release-notes.html Release Notes -
