[ANN] Apache Maven Shared Component: Maven Shared Utils Version 0.7 Released

[Karl Heinz Marbaise <kh...@apache.org>]

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the 
Apache Maven Shared Component: Maven Shared Utils Version 0.7

This project aims to be a functional replacement for 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.
