the status of the project. Our latest report (January 21st, 2014) is shown

below:



Apache Maven is a widely-used project build tool, targeting mainly Java

development. Apache Maven promotes the use of dependencies via a

standardized coordinate system, binary plugins, and a standard build

lifecycle.



* General Information



* Work on plugin releases to define common 2.2.1 minimum Maven version

and Java 5 requirements continues: we created an automated report [1]

that shows 33 plugins are ready from 49. Once finished, we expect to

start 3.x line of plugins with Maven 3 and Java 6 minimum requirements.



* There was a contest to create a new Maven logo and create a mascot:

the winning logo is [2] and the winning mascot (officially christened)

"The Maven Owl" [3]. Work is now in progress to integrate it to the Maven

site.



* We're studying Jira migration from Codehaus to Apache for better end-users

consistency, since we've got feedback about users lost when requiring to

create a Jira account at Codehaus.



* Compliance with ASF source header policy



We enabled rat check on every build in maven-parent POM 25 to ensure full

compliance from now on.

Issue closed: this report is the last one with status on this topic.
