Rating: This is a very good book for learning Maven 1.x. I personally like the concept of the Developer Notebook serie. Small and to the point books with very good introduction on one specific subject. The book is not very usefull for learning Maven 2.

Well, as you mention, it is very good for Maven 1. And at the time, it was written and released, Maven 2 did not exist (except in some early prototype version maybe, or as concepts and use cases by its developers ?;-)

By now (and by the time you read it) a lot of things changed, and even the way to call Maven 2 has changed compared to the way the book describes.

The "m2" command is there, but deprecated.
So I guess everybody has to stick to the Maven web site so far, as the book mentions.
And both its authors and other people (like me, who worked with Maven for 2 years now and did several presentations on it) think about new editions and books that should help you with Maven 2...
