Maven 3 New Features

[javed mandary <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi ,
     been reading around on Maven 3 and trying to see the new features that
it contains , one of which is the translator tool apparently it can
translate a normal XML POM into a Groovy POM for example .

Have any of you used it yet ? and do you know where to download it from? It
doesnt seem to be packaged with the core Maven 3 distribution , at least to
my understanding .

 Are there any new features which you've seen or used as well in Maven 3
that might help increase productivity , would you like to share?

regards,
    Javed

That is Polyglot Maven, not Maven 3 and not available in the stock Maven 3 release and it is not supported yet.
