Built by Maven

Release Notes – Maven 3.6.0

The Apache Maven team would like to announce the release of Maven 3.6.0

Maven 3.6.0 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 PluginList for more information.

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

Overview about the changes

  • There had been issues related to the project discoverytime which has been increased in previous version which influenced some of our users. This should have been fixed MNG-6311, MNG-6383 and MNG-6412.

  • The output in the reactor summary has been improved MNG-6391 cause it confused people. In Maven 3.6.0 the reactor summary now looks like the following:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Reactor Summary for parent 5.0.4-SNAPSHOT:
[INFO]
[INFO] parent ............................................. SUCCESS [  1.559 s]
[INFO] domain ............................................. SUCCESS [  1.238 s]
[INFO] service-client ..................................... SUCCESS [  0.108 s]
[INFO] webgui ............................................. SUCCESS [  0.652 s]
[INFO] service ............................................ SUCCESS [  0.379 s]
[INFO] app ................................................ SUCCESS [  0.304 s]
[INFO] appasm ............................................. SUCCESS [  0.265 s]

[INFO] Total time:  6.824 s
[INFO] Finished at: 2018-11-01T12:20:16+01:00
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The parent in the above output is the artifact name of the root module and the 5.0.4-SNAPSHOT is the versions number for all modules in this reactor build.

If you have an aggregator pom which contains different modules with different versions each line will contain the appropriate versions which looks like this:
