[ANN] Maven Shared Utils 0.1 Released

[Kristian Rosenvold <kr...@apache.org>]

The Maven team is pleased to announce the initial release of
maven-shared-utils, version 0.1

This project aims to be a functional replacement for
{{{http://plexus.codehaus.org/plexus-utils}plexus-utils}} in Maven.

It is not a 100% API compatible replacement though but a replacement
<with improvements>:
lots of methods got cleaned up, generics got added and we dropped a
lot of unused code. Although all
the classes are in different packages from plexus-utils, if the method
is present it will have the same
semantics, facilitating easy conversion.

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.shared</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-shared-utils</artifactId
   <version>0.1</version>
