Wait no more, here comes Maven 4!
Deep Dive (INTERMEDIATE level)
Room 9

You may feel that Apache Maven is done by now. For many people, Maven 3 is the only version of Maven they have ever used, and it has never seen large breaking changes. Those who have been using Maven 2 before may remember that transitioning to Maven 3 was a fairly painless journey.
Did you know it's been roughly ten years since the first steps were made on the road to Maven 4? Yet it was only this year that the first beta releases of Maven 4 were published. What a release Maven 4 will be! In the last years, there have been numerous blogs, videos and talks about things that the Maven team has been working on. In this talk, we will bring everything together to give you a thorough review of the things that are ahead.
We will cover both internal changes and external changes, highlighting the impact it will have on you as a user of Maven. Whatever your role, if you use Maven you can't miss this session.
