Comment 41 for bug 427539

I was really hoping to get the latest version of maven2 in Karmic as it might be the last release of maven's 2.x branch (pretty stable now) and the last chance to include it. Indeed, maven3 is coming and including maven2 in Karmic+1 will thus be pretty useless. On top of that, this will lead to upgrading hell again (I bet maven 3.x will be released more frequently than every 6 months) so we'll end up with an almost immediate obsolete versions. And because maven2 is **unusable** right now, it should just be removed. Very bad news for Java users on Karmic. Sadly, +1 with comment #37.
