When should we move to Maven 3?


Our project badly needs to move to Flexmojos4 to get a fix, but this requires Maven 3. Our project makes extensive use of Maven and we really love it, but have configured it very heavily. Between a dozen modules we probably have 50+ pages of XML configuration.

We also use Eclipse and make heavy use of the M2Eclipse plug-in. We also use the following Maven plug-ins:

and several others. Reading this blog makes me feel like Eclipse Indigo is when it'll all work together. When should we invest the time to make the move?


Solution

  • In fact "the move" should actually consist of simply upgrading the maven installation / m2eclipse only. Maven 3 is almost completely backward-compatible with Maven 2.

    Check the compatibility notes to make sure you are not breaking something that will need a lot to fix.
