<section name="Development Road Map for Maven 2.0">
<p>
This document discusses the release plans and current roadmap for Maven 2.0.
</p>
<p>
We are working to a 4-5 week release cycle, meaning that there will be at least one release per month.
</p>
<p>
The first releases such as the technology preview will be designated "alpha" releases, indicating that
they are not yet feature complete and there are outstanding bugs. Following that, "beta" releases will be
made available where introduction of new features will be restricted and the focus on improving usability and
stability. Finally, one or more release candidates will be distributed for testing that are genuinely believed
to be final, with the expectation that a final release would be available shortly afterwards.
</p>
<p>
We will continue with the successful technique from Maven 1.0 of making plugins available on a separate
release schedule so that new features can be obtained as they are ready and tested.
</p>
<subsection name="Maven 2.0 alpha 2">
<p>
<i>Expected Release: </i> 13 May 2005
