Maven 3 documentation

Question

I cannot find good documentation for the new version of maven (Maven 3). There are several blog entries that are mainly related to Maven 3 Beta.

Do you know any official / unofficial documentation or tutorial for Maven 3?

Answer 1

From Maven3 Plan you will get the Maven3 wiki , which is the closest part of the maven 3-specific documentation.

Answer 2

You can find the documentation on the official website right here http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.2/index.html

The documentation is on the left side.

Answer 3

The current Maven 3 documentation is on the Maven main site . However, it is still being updated, and I'm sure you will like any inconsistency you find. Due to the fact that Maven 3 is backward compatible, most of the documentation remains valid. Compatibility notes do a good job highlighting the differences.

If you are already using Maven 2 and are looking for reasons to upgrade, see the stack overflow question about whether Maven 3 is worth it .

Also, note that due to the nature of the beta / alpha / release candidates, the documentation should not change much between versions, so all blog posts on the pre-release Maven 3s should be pretty much correct.

Answer 4

In the browser, I can tell you what Maven 3 documentation is not : Apache Maven 3 Cookbook , a brilliant new from printing this month. It doesn't talk about sophisticated American cooking recipes, but none of them gives you anything useful specifically related to Maven 3. Learn from my painful experience and stay away from it (still a decent book on Maven in general).
