Hi all, |
2 |
I'm working on getting Apache Maven in to work by building from |
3 |
source. Currently, in main tree, Maven is installed using the binary |
4 |
(dev-java/maven-bin), which is against the Gentoo Java Packaging |
5 |
Policy. |
6 |
|
7 |
Getting Maven in to work by building-from-source is a lengthy process. |
8 |
We have two main versions to go ahead. The 2.x range with the latest |
9 |
being v2.2.1, and the 3.x range with the latest being v3.0.3. The |
10 |
compatibility notes for 2.x and 3.x are at [1]. There's only few |
11 |
compatibility issues as I've seen. I was thinking to go with 2.x since |
12 |
in my experience and the area where I was involved in, haven't had any |
13 |
plans to migrate to Maven 3.x soon. But the overall picture may vary. |
14 |
|
15 |
So, I'm asking from the Gentoo's Java community, what's the suitable |
16 |
version to go with? 2.x or 3.x? |

PS: Development will be carried out at the gsoc-maven-overlay which is |
21 |
based on the java-overlay. |
