Maven 3.0.4

  The Apache Maven team would like to announce the release of Maven 3.0.4.

  Maven 3.0.4 is {{{../../download.html} available for download}}.

  Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. Based on the concept of a project object model
  (POM), Maven can manage a project's build, reporting and documentation from a central place.

  Maven 3 aims to ensure backward compatibility with Maven 2, improve usability, increase performance, allow safe embedding, and pave the way
  to implement many highly demanded features.

  <<NOTE:>> Maven 3.0.4 has a new default Http Wagon based on Apache HttpClient 4.1.2. You must read various available settings
   documented {{{http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-http-settings.html}here}}.

  Some enhancements are now included by default:

  * http(s) connection pool.

  * default preemptive authentication support.

  * a default read timeout configured to 30 minutes.

  []

  The core release is independent of the plugins available. Further releases of plugins will be made separately.
  See the {{{../../plugins/index.html} Plugin List}} for more information.
