Release Notes – Maven 3.5.2

The Apache Maven team would like to announce the release of Maven 3.5.2.

Maven 3.5.2 is 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.

The core release is independent of the plugins available. Further releases of plugins will be made separately. See the plugins list for more information.

We hope you enjoy using Maven! If you have any questions, please consult:
