Hello Keith, Apache is a volunteer driven organisation, as long as volunteers, including your Organisation contribute patches (and funding) the software is supported. There is no guarantee or contract you can obtain for that.
You haven’t specified which projects (plugins) in particular you are interested in, however the general maven project is not planning to stop development. Some older versions however might not be actively maintained anymore, and it is always a good idea to stay with the latest release. Maven 3.6.3 is recent, so I would not expect any more releases in the Maven 3.5.x line. (However as already explained, if enough organizations invest the time and produce a critical fix, together with this free development community, why not. It would be however much easier to just upgrade) Gruss Bernd (An unofficial bystander, triggered by formal requests) -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net ________________________________ Von: Crawford, Keith K CIV USARMY SEC (USA) <[email protected]> Gesendet: Donnerstag, November 26, 2020 12:49 AM An: [email protected] Betreff: Apache Maven Software Maven Support, We are going through the Assess Only process of licensed and open source client software for Information Assurance.
