In addition to understanding the
<a href="./what-is-maven.html">Goals of Maven</a>
there have also been questions about why Maven 2.0 is rewritten from the successful Maven 1.0.
In summary, the main goals of the new Maven 2.0 architecture are:
</p>
- <ul>
- <li>To be simple to use - it should be more obvious and consistent about how things are working</li>
- <li>Fast - a new architecture and smaller memory footprint make it as fast as possible</li>
- <li>To be able to implement the features demanded were not possible under the Maven 1.0 architecture</li>

+
+<li>To be able to implement the features demanded were not possible under the Maven 1.0 architecture</li>
</ul>
- <p>
+
+<p>
Unfortunately, to reach these goals we've had to sacrifice backwards compatibility. Instead of
making many small incremental changes that would break compatibility often over time, we decided to build on a
new, solid base that can be reliable for the future, and also to maintain the existing Maven 1.x product to
ensure that existing users are not left out in the cold.

Maven 3.0 is an important internal improvement with following goals:
</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Backward compatibility</li>
- <li>Performance improvement</li>
- <li>Parallel builds</li>
- <li>Better error and integrity reporting</li>

As of the current release, Maven supports pure Java and Beanshell. Java is the preferred
language for it's familiarity and speed.
</p>
- <p>
+
+<p>
We get asked a lot whether Maven 2.0 will support other languages, in particular Groovy.
We will allow the use of Groovy - and virtually any other scripting
language (if there is demand) if someone can commit a small amount of time to implementing a
factory for it.
</p>
- <p>
+
+<p>
We would recommend waiting for Groovy to have a 1.0 release so the API
(and language!) is stable. What we will not be doing is actively
supporting it (in terms of answering questions about how to use it)
like we currently do for Jelly in Maven 1.x.
</p>
- <p>
+
+<p>
Beanshell is more mature, and we want a language that users will find
answers for when they look, and that when they find bugs, it is
clearly defined where they actually are.
</p>
- <p>
+
+<p>
We may consider emphasising a different language if there are compelling technical reasons
for doing so - if you have a suggestion, feel free to contact the development list.

Maven spent about 5 months as part of the Alexandria before moving on to its next home in the <a class="externalLink" href="http://turbine.apache.org/">Turbine</a> project.</p><p>Though Maven started in Alexandria the test bed for its use was the Turbine project. Turbine was in the process of decoupling its persistence layer, services layer and web layer into separate builds and I got very tired of having to maintain several different builds which were essentially the same. There was no way to easy template Ant builds in those days and every ant build appeared to be different and I found this incredibly frustrating and futile. I figured who really cares how the build works so long as it works and is easy to use. The infrastructure of a project
is incredibly important but the value of a project lies in the application being developed. As such the build is generally neglected and tends to fall apart when you need it to work most like when you need to prepare a release or when more then a couple of people are working on the project. In Jakarta land four years ago it was rare that a Ant build worked out of the box. Mind you many Turbine developers suffered as I tried to get Maven working which is something I regret, but I figure how do new projects start and survive if someone doesn's suffer. I figured it was for their own good (I've been known to have an opinion or two) and after much gnashing of teeth I think Maven has finally come of age. It reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from Ralph Johnson and Don Roberts in Patterns for Evolving Frameworks:</p><p><i>People develop abstractions by generalizing from concrete examples. Every attempt to determine the correct abstraction on paper without actually developing
a running system is doomed to failure. No one is that smart. A framework is a resuable design, so you develop it by looking at the things it is supposed to be a design of. The more examples you look at, the more general your framework will be.</i></p><p>I didn't really know what the final result would look like I just knew there had to be a better way. But to start with I know I wanted:</p><ul><li><b>A model for a project</b> so you could look in one place for everything that pertained to the project</li><li><b>A standard directory structure</b> so you didn't have to go fishing around for libraries, sources and documentation</li></ul><p>So started using a model with a simple XML representation and picked what I thought were some decent standards for a directory structure and that's how it started. I was still using Ant under the covers but I had some standard targets that could be used in each of the Turbine builds and that made me happy.</p><p>As noted above one of the pro
jects in Alexandria at the time was Gump. Sam Ruby tried to convince me that using the Gump model would be a good idea so I took a look. After taking a look at the descriptors I noted that Gump pretty much allowed any project to do whatever it wanted in terms of directory structure, use of JARs in CVS, multiple artifacts per project, documentation splayed everywhere, and several other things that made no sense to me as Gump was not trying to standardize anything at the time but trying to continuously integrate anything it could get its hands on. My goals were different and I wanted to make an <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2005/08/30/ruby-rails-david-heinemeier-hansson.html">opinionated</a> piece of software and I preferred the notion of convention over configuration. I wanted a project's infrastructure to look the same and work the same so I continued to pursue my own model for a project and decided to disagree with Gump's particular t
act at project modelling which I thought was too flexible. I wanted to save people time by being able to find things in the same place. Again the value in a project is the final result: how it is constructed and built predictable and easy. I fully admit some warts in Maven 1.x sometimes made things harder but that is par for the course with first generation tools.</p><p>The next thing I noticed were all the JARs that we were depending on were stored in CVS. We had many copies of Xerces laying around which is a waste of space, every time the version of Xerces changed I had to update the copies of Xerces in each of the projects, but more importantly without some declarative statement of your dependencies there is no way you could perform any analysis. People tend to miss the point entirely regarding a declarative dependency use. People say it's so easy just to store their dependencies in an SCM but try decomposing your big crappy build into components to encourage reuse and ea
se of maintenance, or try to analyze what you might need at runtime between all your different apps with commons dependencies in the graph and you're shit out of luck. The true power of declarative dependencies lies not in the fact that you can save a few bytes of disk space, though it can really add up if you're not careful, but in the analysis that can be performed. Once you have a decent graph all sorts of things are possible. Back to history: so now that declarative dependencies existed it needed to be easier ...</p><p>This is when I decided to employ standard Java-like inheritance in the model used and find a way to create a repository for things you need to build. So I hacked in some inheritance goop and now it was time for the repository. I asked around Apache to see if it would be possible to host a repository and soon found out that it was not possible to host non-Apache-like artifacts. So LGPL and GPL artifacts were out which didn't really make for a useful reposit
ory. After a little hunting I found <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.ibiblio.org">Ibiblio</a> which is a vast archive of all sorts of neat stuff including tons of free software. One of the mandates of Ibiblio is to aid in the dispersal of free software. Sounded perfect to me so I got in contact with John Reuning at Ibiblio and the rest is history. Working with the folks at Ibiblio has been a pleasure, the admins there are an amazingly helpful and talented bunch. They let us store whatever free software we want, provide great stats, and will let us host any software we want. Ibiblio is very cool.</p><p>Many people had some problems with Maven 1.x but it generally worked and all tools in their first generation suffer from many short comings and the only way to overcome that is to forge ahead and try to create something better the next time around. With all the feed back the Maven developers have received from 1.x users and during the betas of 2.0 we think we've finally
got something to build on. The first version of Maven was written by myself with lots of help from Bob McWhirter</p><!-- jar jar --><!-- ibiblio reasons --><!-- maven top-level project --><!-- use of jelly --><!-- move toward 1.0 --><!-- development of m2 --><!-- present day --></div>

+<p>So started using a model with a simple XML representation and picked what I thought were some decent standards for a directory structure and that's how it started. I was still using Ant under the covers but I had some standard targets that could be used in each of the Turbine builds and that made me happy.</p>
+<p>As noted above one of the projects in Alexandria at the time was Gump. Sam Ruby tried to convince me that using the Gump model would be a good idea so I took a look. After taking a look at the descriptors I noted that Gump pretty much allowed any project to do whatever it wanted in terms of directory structure, use of JARs in CVS, multiple artifacts per project, documentation splayed everywhere, and several other things that made no sense to me as Gump was not trying to standardize anything at the time but trying to continuously integrate anything it could get its hands on. My goals were different and I wanted to make an <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/network/2005/08/30/ruby-rails-david-heinemeier-hansson.html">opinionated</a> piece of software and I preferred the notion of convention over configuration. I wanted a project's infrastructure to look the same and work the same so I continued to pursue my own model for a project and decided to d
isagree with Gump's particular tact at project modelling which I thought was too flexible. I wanted to save people time by being able to find things in the same place. Again the value in a project is the final result: how it is constructed and built predictable and easy. I fully admit some warts in Maven 1.x sometimes made things harder but that is par for the course with first generation tools.</p>
+<p>The next thing I noticed were all the JARs that we were depending on were stored in CVS. We had many copies of Xerces laying around which is a waste of space, every time the version of Xerces changed I had to update the copies of Xerces in each of the projects, but more importantly without some declarative statement of your dependencies there is no way you could perform any analysis. People tend to miss the point entirely regarding a declarative dependency use. People say it's so easy just to store their dependencies in an SCM but try decomposing your big crappy build into components to encourage reuse and ease of maintenance, or try to analyze what you might need at runtime between all your different apps with commons dependencies in the graph and you're shit out of luck. The true power of declarative dependencies lies not in the fact that you can save a few bytes of disk space, though it can really add up if you're not careful, but in the analysis that can be performed.
Once you have a decent graph all sorts of things are possible. Back to history: so now that declarative dependencies existed it needed to be easier ...</p>
+<p>This is when I decided to employ standard Java-like inheritance in the model used and find a way to create a repository for things you need to build. So I hacked in some inheritance goop and now it was time for the repository. I asked around Apache to see if it would be possible to host a repository and soon found out that it was not possible to host non-Apache-like artifacts. So LGPL and GPL artifacts were out which didn't really make for a useful repository. After a little hunting I found <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.ibiblio.org">Ibiblio</a> which is a vast archive of all sorts of neat stuff including tons of free software. One of the mandates of Ibiblio is to aid in the dispersal of free software. Sounded perfect to me so I got in contact with John Reuning at Ibiblio and the rest is history. Working with the folks at Ibiblio has been a pleasure, the admins there are an amazingly helpful and talented bunch. They let us store whatever free software we want, p
rovide great stats, and will let us host any software we want. Ibiblio is very cool.</p>
+<p>Many people had some problems with Maven 1.x but it generally worked and all tools in their first generation suffer from many short comings and the only way to overcome that is to forge ahead and try to create something better the next time around. With all the feed back the Maven developers have received from 1.x users and during the betas of 2.0 we think we've finally got something to build on. The first version of Maven was written by myself with lots of help from Bob McWhirter</p><!-- jar jar --><!-- ibiblio reasons --><!-- maven top-level project --><!-- use of jelly --><!-- move toward 1.0 --><!-- development of m2 --><!-- present day --></div>
