Is Maven 2 about to be EOL'ed?

In the Maven mailing list,Stephen Connolly has posted a question , should we "declare Maven 2.x as end of life". He states: We have not made a release of Maven 2.x since 2.2.1 which was August 2009. During that period no release manager has stepped up to cut a release. I would argue that we should just therefore just declare Maven 2.x as end of life. At the time of writing, most votes are agreeing with Stephen implying that the end of Maven 2 may be coming soon. Have you upgraded to Maven 3, or are you still using Maven 2?  Is it a good thing to eol Maven 2?  Add your thoughts in the comments below. Don't forget to read Stephen's full thread for all the details.

The new Eclipse logo

In a blog post today, Ian Skerrett has announced the new logo for Eclipse. Last fall we [The Eclipse Foundation] started a process to  update the Eclipse logo . The existing logo had not been change since Eclipse was launched and it was showing its age. I am happy to announce we have finished the process and am pleased to introduce the updated Eclipse logo. The new logo has a fresh modern look to it, which I think is a good improvement and will stand Eclipse in good stead for the future. The new logo will be included with the next Eclipse release train, Luna, and gradually rolled out across the Eclipse site and projects. What do you think?  Do you like the new logo?  Add your comments below.
