Maven 1.0 RC4 Released
The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of Maven 1.0 RC4.
http://maven.apache.org/start/download.html
Maven is a project management and project comprehension tool. Maven is based
on the concept of a project object model: builds, documentation creation, site
publication, and distribution publication are all controlled from the project
object model. Maven also provides tools to create source metrics, change logs
based directly on source repository, and source cross-references.
Maven 1.0 RC4 is the final release candidate for Maven 1.0 (and this time we
mean it!)
