>          Key: MNG-1887
>          URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1887
>      Project: Maven 2
>         Type: New Feature

>   Components: documentation - guides
>     Versions: 2.0.1

> Many users coming from maven 1 have large maven.xml files and don't really know how to start migrating those.
> Usually these maven.xml do simple things like copy some files or run an ant task.
> 3 use cases should be shown:
> 1) old custom assembly script can now be done by the assembly plugin
> 2) some ant task can be done with the antrun plugin
> 3) some custom script can be turned into a plugin
> You probably don't like solution 2) and it's indeed not the best solution,
> like use maven.xml in maven 1 was also not the best solution,
> despite that people are doing it to do things quick & dirty or as proofs of concepts,
> so they should be guided (and also be told that 3) is better)
> This could become a part of "Guide to Moving from Maven 1.x to Maven 2.x":
> http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-m1-m2.html
> But seeing the length of that one, some sort of index would be usefull (like in FAQ's).
