Maven Releases History

The Apache Maven team maintains the last version of the last two series of GA releases. The last release is currently 3.9.10, the Apache Maven team project will currently maintain two core versions: 3.9.10 and 3.8.9.

Older versions have reached their end of life and are no longer supported in any way. This means the Maven team will not provide any bug or security fixes or add new features. Note: Maven does not differentiate between “end of life” (EOL) and “end of support” (EOS), but only uses the term “end of life”.

Currently, plugins provide Maven API compatibility down to 3.6.3. See Maven Plugins Compatibility Plan for more details.
