I just completed a search for a new job. In these economic times, finding a job can be daunting, even in the software industry, which has fared better than most. (Today, it was announced that the official unemployment rate in the U.S. is 10.2%, the highest level in 25 years.) Despite these obstacles, this was the easiest and most rewarding job search of my career.

It can be frustrating to write complex JavaScript programs when they don't work the same way on different browsers.

With Maven 3.x we have made our best attempt to listen users, find out what they need and want, and make reasonable preparations and plans to fix the problems, implement useful features, and create the integration points for working properly with third party systems like Nexus and Hudson. While there have been many new feature requests — and we have many new features done or in the works — the number one concern is backward compatibility. Maven 3.x makes an ardent attempt to be 100% backward compatible with Maven 2.x. All your Maven 2.x builds should work out of the box using 3.x without change to your projects. We simply can’t cause pain to the existing user base. We are very cognizant that even small changes can have a huge impact and so we have tried achieve complete Maven 2.x fidelity with Maven 3.x.
