Maven Core Roadmap

Apache Maven 3.2 Distribution

• Open issues (Bug scrub for 3.2.0)

Apache Maven 4.0 Distribution

• TBD if we will release a version 4.0 (want to align modelVersion 5.0.0 with Maven 5.0.0, so we may just skip 4.0 or we may find some content that doesn't require a model change but would be considered "breaking" for 3.x)

Apache Maven 5.0 Distribution

• POM500, new elements
  • MNG-1977 Global dependency exclusions ( project.dependencyManagement.excludes[] )
  • MNG-2009 Add new <integrationTestSourceDirectory> element in the POM model ( project.build.integrationDirectory )
  • MNG-2216 Add default encodings section to POM ( project.build.sourceEncoding ) http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/POM+Element+for+Source+File+Encoding
  • MNG-3344 Provide new POM element to configure site directory ( project.reporting.directory )
  • MNG-3626 Improve pom to handle i18n fields
  • MNG-4149 Extend POM to support encoding parameter per (test) resource ( project.build.resources[].resource.sourceEncoding )
  • MNG-5102 Mixin POM fragments ( project.mixins[] )
  • MNG-5281 Remove "HEAD" as default value for org.apache.maven.model.Scm.tag
  • Related requirements: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MODELLO-4
