[ANNOUNCE] Maven 3.0-alpha-2 Released

Another quiet release as we build up the integration tests and flush  
out regressions. Not recommending this to anyone but the masochists,  
but here it is:

http://www.apache.org/dist/maven/binaries/

There were 48 issues resolved, and you can see them here:

http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&fixfor=14430&pid=10500&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC

Another three alphas and I think I would actually suggest trying it.

Thanks,

Jason

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track
of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget
the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful
groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a
clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as
signs of decline and decay.

Probably but I'm just leaving all the crap there that the release  
produces. I'll figure out why the tool is producing that or what  
happened and fix that.

The apache-maven-* bits should be excluded but I'm not sure what made  
the empty directories. That why we're going to have a _lot_ of alphas.

Not until we think it's ready for a wider audience. The criterion for  
that will be we can't find any projects that won't run on 3.0. The  
point at which that happens it will be generally worth people trying  
it. Before that I honestly think it's a waste of their time. As the  
alphas proceed toward a highly usable beta I'll announce to more wider  
audience. Right now I just announced it to the dev and people who are  
truly interested can try it.

But it's still rough, it's still not been flipped over to using  
Mercury, and it's not the version of Maven being used in m2e. So while  
I think we have made tons of progress I don't think foisting this on  
people is going to help the situation much. We have a several projects  
waiting in the wings to try builds of Maven 3.x so we've got enough  
feedback to improve and that's really the only driver right now.

Exactly. I figure the first public announcement I will make will  
likely be alpha-8 or so.

Jason mentioned he doesn't recommend anyone try it just yet, so I
wouldn't put it on the download page which is intended for users.  A
quiet announcement on the dev list reaches the right audience.

kind of makes sense to me 3.0 should be there too.

There are some files that could probably be deleted. E.g. an empty 
3.0-alpha-2 directory, apache-maven-3.0-alpha-2.pom* and 
apache-maven-3.0-alpha-2.jar*.
