Maven Plugin Matrix

This information is currently out of date. Please consult the Maven and Mojo web sites for the existence of plugins

• This list compares plugin availability between M1 and M2, tracking all publicly available plugins.
• If a publicly available plugin is not on the list, please email the Maven users list asking to add it.
• Note that in M2, no plugins ship with the core. M2 downloads them transparently as needed.
• A red X in the M2 column means the plugin is not yet available for M2.
• We hope to convert all plugins in a priority order (popularity?) and as time permits.
• We need folks in the community to help out with the porting effort.
• If you can convert a plugin from M1 to M2, please email the Maven users list to have your comments added.
• The number of is an attempt to priorities based on my guess at usage.
• = whether we need it is not yet determined and so should be the lowest priority
• = Non functional

Key:
M1: Exists for Maven 1
M2: Exists for Maven 2
FC: Maven 2 version has all features of Maven 1 version
Rev: Has been reviewed and confirmed FC
Doc: Plugin documentation is complete
Rel: Whether the Maven 2 version has been released ( is final, but may be Beta or Alpha as well)

If you want to see the code for these plug-ins they are either located at Apache or the Mojo project at Codehaus:
