The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Maven 3.0.2

Maven is a project comprehension and build tool, designed to simplify the process of maintaining a healthy development lifecycle for your project. You can read more here:

http://maven.apache.org/

Downloads of source and binary distributions are listed in our download section:

http://maven.apache.org/download.html

A major goal of Maven 3.0.x is to be compatible, to the extent possible, with existing plugins and projects designed for Maven 2.x. Users interested in upgrading to 3.x should have a glance at the compatibility notes for known differences between Maven 3.0 and Maven 2.x:

Users who already use Maven 3.0 are encouraged to update to this new maintenance release.

If you encounter unexpected problems while using Maven 3.0.2, please feel free to contact us via the Maven developer list:
