Complete list of issues fixed in 2.2.1

Changes that may affect existing builds

• MNG-4143 - Starting in 2.2.0, Maven will run only on Java 1.5 and later. You can still build projects for JDK1.4 and earlier using the approach documented in the Guide to Building JDK 1.4 Projects on JDK 1.5.
• MNG-3401 - Executions with an id equal to default-phase (where phase is a valid lifecycle phase) may have unexpected results as it will be merged into the default lifecycle.
• MNG-4140/4179 - Version-expression resolution during installation and deployment has been removed, returning to Maven 2.0.x behaviour.

Noteworthy changes and improvements

• MNG-3401 - Starting in Maven 2.2.0, goals invoked directly from the command line can be configured in the POM separately from other plugin invocations using a special executionId called default-cli. Where previously, all configurations for command-line goals had to go in the plugin-level configuration, Maven 2.2.0 allows command-line-specific configurations to be separated into their own <execution>. For more information, see the Guide to Default Execution IDs.
• MNG-3203 - Similar to MNG-3401, previous to Maven 2.2.0 it was impossible to separate configurations for different goals from a single plugin that were bound to the lifecycle by the default mappings for a given packaging. Beginning in Maven 2.2.0, it is possible to separate configurations for compiler:compile from those for compiler:testCompile using executions with IDs default-compile and default-testCompile respectively. In the case of the compiler plugin, this allows the separation of include and exclude patterns that are applied during the two compiler activities in the jar build. For more information, see the Guide to Default Execution IDs.
• MNG-4179 - Regression: In Maven 2.1.0, artifact downloads hang when a transfer failure occurred. This has been corrected.
• MNG-4184 - Regression: Maven 2.1.0 failed with a cyclic dependency in cases where a dependency for a report plugin is build as part of the current reactor. This has been corrected.
• MNG-4167 - Regression: Version-expression resolution for POMs in Maven 2.1.0 took place as a transformation phase during artifact installation and deployment. However, this caused the deployed POM to be different from the one signed by the GPG plugin. Because of this and other use-case problems, version-expression resolution has been removed from Maven 2.2.0 pending a more comprehensive design review. MNG-4223 provides tracking for this review.
• MNG-4140 - Regression: Version-expression resolution for POMs in Maven 2.1.0 was too aggressive, replacing not only version expressions in artifact coordinates, but also in plugin configurations and POM properties. As mentioned above, version-expression resolution has been removed pending further review.

Complete list of issues fixed in 2.2.0

Changes that may affect existing builds.

• MNG-3600 - The <server> element in settings.xml no longer specifies a default value for file and directory modes on remotely deployed files. Please refer to the Settings guides for how to configure this appropriately for your deployment environment.
• MNG-3475 - neither the script source directory nor the reporting output directory were aligned to the base directory. While this was a bug, if you used an expression such as ${basedir}/${project.reporting.outputDirectory} then where this would of worked in Maven 2.0.10, it will have two copies of the project base directory in Maven 2.1.0+. You should remove the leading ${basedir} from the expression - however note that in some cases this will cause the build to be incompatible with earlier versions of Maven.
• MNG-3940 - While environment variables are case-insensitive on Windows, Maven internally stores them in a Properties collection. For the time being, the names of environment variables are normalized to all upper-case when Maven executes on Windows, thereby at least partly abstracting from different character casing of the original variable name. Hence, ${env.PATH} will now be reliably resolved on Windows. However, POMs that previously used lower-case or mixed-case variable names like ${env.ProgramFiles} will need to be updated.
• MNG-4056 - Dependencies specified with a classifier of sources and type of jar are correctly considered source JARs and no longer added to the classpath. This is known to affect the GWT plugin

Noteworthy Changes and improvements

• MNG-553 - Secure Storage of Server Passwords
• MNG-3760 - ${project.baseUri} has been added as a valid expression in the POM, and is a valid URI equivalent of ${basedir}
• MNG-2576 - Additional switches to the command line for alternate reactor behavior: --resume-from, --also-make, and --also-make-dependents.
• MNG-3379 - Parallel resolution of dependencies now occurs, with the default number of concurrent of threads set to 5. A configuration option -Dmaven.artifact.threads can be used to change the number of threads.

The full list of changes can be found in our issue management system, and is reproduced below.

Changes that may affect existing builds.

This release was extensively screened for regressions with Release Candidates but several things are worth noting.

• MNG-3974 - The mirror syntax order did not match the documentation. In 2.0.9, the last mirror that matched a repository would win. The correct behavior in 2.0.10 is the first match wins. Using the syntax that lets you exclude a repository from a match (*,!notthisone,thisone), it should always be possible to ensure your matching is deterministic regardless of order. See the settings specification for more information.
• MNG-3424 - in 2.0.9 we made the dependency order deterministic using linkedHashMaps, in 2.0.10, the rest of the hashMaps in the pom model have been replaced with linkedHashMaps. This may cause subtle changes in the ordering of executions or other processing since 2.0.9. The fix would be to reorder the elements that cause problems, and know that it will be predictable from now on.

Task

• [MNG-2883] - Make sure that the network isn't used for snapshots in offline mode when legacy repositories are used * 2.0.9 Release Notes

The full list of changes can be found in our issue management system, and is reproduced below.

Changes that may affect existing builds.

This release was extensively screened for regressions with Release Candidates but several things are worth noting.

• MNG-3395 - Starting in 2.0.9, we have provided defaults in the super pom for the plugins bound by default to the lifecycle and a few other often used plugins. This will introduce a bit of stability to your builds because core plugins will not change magically on you when they are released. We still recommend taking control of your plugin versions via pluginManagement declarations as this is the most robust way to future proof your builds. Defaulting the plugins in the superpom was a step towards introducing stability for small builds and new users. A full table of the versions used is shown in the next section.
• MNG-1412 / MNG-3111 introduced deterministic ordering of dependencies on the classpath. In the past, natural set ordering was used and this lead to odd results. The ordering is now preserved from your pom, with dependencies added by inheritence added last. In builds that had conflicting or duplicate dependencies, this may introduce a change to the output. In short, if you have weird issues with 2.0.9, take a look at the dependencies to see if you have conflicts somewhere.

Noteworthy Changes and improvements

• MNG-2234 - In the past, settings.xml was ignored if there was no pom present (like in archetype:generate). Now all settings will be interpreted correctly.
• MNG-2664 - The webdav wagon is now included in the core bundle by default. This means deploying 3rd party jars without a pom is a bit easier. The version of the wagon may still be overriden with an extension declaration within your pom.
• MNG-2972 The plugin.dependency section can now override the dependencies specified by a plugin itself. This is useful for example to upgrade the version of checkstyle used by the checkstyle plugin (and many more).
• MNG-3286 - The inherited field in a plugin execution block is now functioning correctly. Previously you could only dis-inherit an entire plugin configuration.
• MNG-3220 - There is now a new scope for importing managed dependencies. See here and here for details. Please note that the use of this scope will break backwards compatibility with older Maven versions. If you use this, you should use the maven-enforcer-plugin to require a minimum maven version of 2.0.9
• MNG-3394 - plugin versions specified in pluginManagement are now properly overriden by build.plugin.version specification.
• MNG-3415 - Transmission errors when downloading artifacts should not corrupt the local repository metadata. Hopefully this means the end of "delete your local repo" as a debug step.
• MNG-3461 - There is a new, more flexible way to define mirror settings. See the settings specification for more information.

New Feature

• [MNG-2169] - Want to contribute: Contributing Maven 2 refcard

Changes that may affect existing builds

• MNG-1577 - Maven will now only obey the <dependencyManagement> element in the POM and will align all transitive dependencies to versions specified in the <dependencyManagement>. To detect any problems that you might have you can refer to these upgrade notes for Maven 2.0.6 to prepare for the upgrade.

Bug

• [MNG-1577] - dependencyManagement does not work for transitive dependencies
• [MNG-2339] - ${project.*} are interpreted in the wrong place
• [MNG-2362] - Deployed POM is not valid XML
• [MNG-2433] - Maven looks for snapshots in offline mode
• [MNG-2648] - Repeated message "[WARNING] Unable to get resource from repository ... "
• [MNG-2760] - Fix deployment so that assemblies are signed with the GPG plugin

• [MNG-2812] - Profile with an undefined os family activation should not activate
• [MNG-2843] - Plugins can't get project properties
• [MNG-2867] - Guide building maven not up to date
• [MNG-2877] - unable to resolve attached artifacts from reactor that are not in repo. (patch applied in svn and IT tests added)
• [MNG-2891] - Fix deployment permissions so by default group write works
• [MNG-2897] - Make sure that Xpp3Dom is shared from the core to plugins
• [MNG-2899] - In cases where ${version} is used in depMan we get null versions in attached artifacts
• [MNG-2900] - Extensions that have no declared dependency on plexus-utils yet need it at runtime will fail.

Improvement

• [MNG-2252] - Upgrade to plexus-utils 1.3
• [MNG-2823] - More control over what WARNING messages are displayed
• [MNG-2828] - Upgrade the dependency on plexus-utils to a more recent version

Task

• [MNG-2776] - Upgrade the dependency on modello-maven-plugin to a more recent version
• [MNG-2894] - Make sure that if a plugin does not specify the use of plexus-utils that once is fed in to protect against plugins that use plexus-utils but don't declare it.
• [MNG-2898] - Look at allowing all org.codehaus.plexus.util.xml to show through

Changes that may affect existing builds

• MNG-2794 - Maven now behaves in a defined way when matching the nearest dependency when two exist at the same depth in the dependency graph, by matching the first encountered. Previously, it was undefined. This may result in some builds having a different dependency graph, which could cause failures if all compilation dependencies are not specified completely in the POM. While not currently enforced, projects should always list the dependencies it needs to compile, even if they are available transitively.
• MNG-2228 - The handling of build extensions has changed. This technique causes less pollution to the global classloader, allowing them to be used more widely for extensions to Maven's core. This may affect builds that used them to expose extra classes to various plugins. While in most scenarios these builds will continue to work, in these situations the <dependencies> element of <plugin> should be used instead.
