2.0 uses Maven. I use Maven 3 and am not sure if Maven 2 will work. I modeled it after the build for Commons VFS.  That doesn't mean it won't have its own issues. Doing a release at the ASF is complicated.

The site generates several reports that can be seen at http://people.apache.org/~rgoers/log4j2/

For example, http://people.apache.org/~rgoers/log4j2/project-reports.html and http://people.apache.org/~rgoers/log4j2/log4j2-core/project-reports.html

Yes, it uses the standard layout.

You are both free to checkout the source and run the build. If you want to add more reports feel free to do so.I will note that on Windows the unit tests have to be run with -server set. I plan on adding a profile that does that automatically.

Good news WRT Maven vs. Ant. Did you dump Ant? Indeed WRT complicated
releases...

Minor: the style for tables to sub-par:
http://people.apache.org/~rgoers/log4j2/surefire-report.html is hard to
read.
