The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Shared Component: Apache Maven Utils Version 0.7

This project aims to be a functional replacement for plexus-utils in Maven. It is not a 100% API compatible replacement though but a replacement with improvements: lots of methods got cleaned up, generics got added and we dropped a lot of unused code.
