<question>Should I use Maven 2.0, or Maven 1.0?</question>
<answer>
<p>
- The answer depends very much on on your circumstances, and in
particular whether you are new to Maven or not.
+ Maven 2.0 is the latest stable release, and we certainly recommend
it for all new projects.
</p>
<p>
- The simple answer is that we hope you'll try Maven 2.0, and use it
if it works for you. However, it is a beta
- release, so you can expect some unexpected bugs.
- We'd hate for your first experience with Maven 2.0 to be a bad one -
so if you are embarking on a big,
- complicated
- or mission critical project - we still recommend Maven 1.0.2 as the
latest stable release.
- </p>
- <p>
- If you are already using Maven 1.0 - feel free to try out Maven 2.0,
but it may be better to remain on an
- existing
- version that is working for you until you need the new features and
it covers all of your needs.
+ If you are already using Maven 1.0 - you should try out Maven 2.0,
as it is very much improved.
+ However, we still continue to support the Maven 1.x releases at this
time.
</p>
<p>
If you do use Maven 1.0, and would like to upgrade in the future,
you should carefully consider following some
of the

Practices</a>
- listed. These will make
- your project a lot easier to migrate in the future.

+ The following are the known limitations in the current Maven 2.0
release compared to Maven 1.x:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
- <i>Error handling</i>
- - there are occasions where Maven 2.0 will drop out with a long
stack trace
- when an error has occurred. If a specific trace is not providing
enough information to find out what went
- wrong, please post the message to JIRA.
- </li>
- <li>
<i>Availability of other plugins</i>
- While most of the core Maven 1.x plugins have been converted,
- there are still some not available, or not with the same level of
features or documentation. In
- addition, several 3rd party plugins may not be available. Maven
2.0 cannot execute Maven 1.0 plugins.
