[ANN] Apache Maven 3.0.2 Released

[Benjamin Bentmann <be...@apache.org>]

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:

    http://cwiki.apache.org/MAVEN/maven-3x-compatibility-notes.html

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:
