<question>What plugin languages will Maven 2.0 support? What about [insert language here]?</question>
<answer>
<p>
As of the current alpha-3 release, Maven supports pure Java, Beanshell and Marmalade. Java is the preferred
language for it's familiarity and speed, while Marmalade is preferred for porting Maven 1.x plugins, and
writing
plugins based on Ant tasks.
</p>
<p>
We get asked a lot whether Maven 2.0 will support other languages, in particular Groovy.
We will allow the use of Groovy - and virtually any other scripting
language if there is demand, or someone can commit a small amount of time to implementing a
factory for it.
</p>
<p>
We would recommend waiting for Groovy to have a 1.0 release so the API
(and language!) is stable. What we will not be doing is actively
supporting it (in terms of answering questions about how to use it)
like we currently do for Jelly in Maven 1.x.
</p>
<p>
Beanshell is more mature, and we want a language that users will find
answers for when they look, and that when they find bugs, it is
clearly defined where they actually are.
</p>
<p>
We may consider emphasising a different language if there are compelling technical reasons
for doing so - if you have a suggestion, feel free to contact the development list.
