switching to maven3

Question

We have several enterprise projects on maven2, do you think it would be a good idea to switch now to maven 3?

I heard the migration is not hard but there are not big improvements unless you're going to use the parallel builds. But our build machine is already almost choked up so I don't think we can use it.

Has someone experienced problems or big improvements?

Answer 1

The most important thing is to do some test builds with Maven 3 to see if there a any big problems. If not it's not a big deal. Improvments are there, cause Maven 3 is usually a little bit faster than the same build in Maven 2. So it might be worth to analyze it in detail.
