Version 3.1.0 of Apache Maven was recently released. It is a long-awaited release which brings numerous new features and fixes many bugs. A full list is available in Maven 3.1.0 release notes [1]. I think it's important for Fedora to switch to new Maven as soon as possible. Unfortunately there are signifficant incompatibilities between Maven 3.1.0 and 3.0.5 which make this process non-trivial. Maven 3.1.0 switched from Sonatype Aether to Eclipse Aether and from Sonatype Sisu to Eclipse Sisu. Plugins that directly depend on Aether or Sisu may no longer work with Maven 3.1.0. Upstream lists [2] some plugins that were or need to be updated to work with Maven 3.1.0. I have created a tracker bug [3] which is intended to lists tasks needed to be done in order to migrate to Maven 3.1.0 as well as any bugs related to the migration. I have populated the tracker with all changes needed that I am aware of at the moment, but feel free to add more bugs if you find them. This is fairly complicated process as there are circular package dependencies because of which several packages need to be updated at the same time. I will ask release engineering to create a dedicated Koji tag in order not to break rawhide during the process.
