Maven 3 beta is out since a couple of weeks and I just want to get your views on the feature list for Maven 3. Because to me, only two major features were added

  1. Parallel execution of of project in the build lifecycle
  2. Custom lifecycle

Everything else seems like a bug fix or a minor improvement. So what do you think? Will Maven 3 be worth the wait?

The idea of Maven 3 was to replace Maven 2 without any problems...currently there are some (site in particular). I would suggest to test the current existing Maven 2 projects with Maven 3 to see if some problems occur. Internally the complete Code has been refactored etc. to make new improvements possible. Removed some parts from the core (like site generation etc.).
