RE: "The Definitive Guide": online vs. print
The online one will naturally continue to evolve, but sometimes people
like to have the book by their side, or for offline reading etc.

Subject: "The Definitive Guide": online vs. print
I purchased the printed version of "Maven: The Definitive Guide". I'm
confused about how it differs from the online version, which is
available here:
http://www.sonatype.com/community/definitive_guide.html
The online version is "Beta 0.16, September 1, 2008", which I believe
is newer than the book. So, if the online version is more up to date,
why should I bother reading the print version?

I wonder how they'll update my print copy that came last week?

Beta 0.16. And there's a foreword about this versioning:
Foreword: Beta 0.16
Alright,we're in a Beta release now.What does this mean? Not much,really it
just means that I no longer feel like we're going to have massive structural
changes between now and the 1.0 release of this book.[...]
So, as the book is free, I guess you could just download it and give it a
try. Maybe it'll look less disheartening as you have a real look at it...
Cheers.

The printed book has all the editing, copy editing, and updates for
tools like Nexus and m2e. Tim did everything humanly possible,
including pushing out the release date, to get all the content updated
for the book. Tim has gradually started pushing the edits back into
online version.

Does anyone know what version the book is? If the online one is still
in beta, then the book must be a beta release, too (which is kind of
disheartening).
