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

The Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Apache Maven 
3.0-alpha-7.

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:

Downloads of source and binary distributions are listed in our download

A major goal of Maven 3.0 is to be compatible with existing plugins and 
projects designed for Maven 2.x. Users interested in testing this alpha 
release should have a glance at the compatibility notes for known 
differences between Maven 3.0 and Maven 2.x:
