Codehaus Cargo 1.9.0 is here, with a new era for our Maven support!

Dear Codehaus Cargo enthusiasts

As announced two days ago, Codehaus Cargo 1.9.0 is now ready, and features one and only change:

• Extensions - Maven 3 plugin

  • [CARGO-1544] - Upgrade the Codehaus Cargo Maven plugin to Maven 3
    Note: This implies that we don’t have a Maven 2 plugin anymore, and only a Maven 3 plugin.

Though this change is quite nicely in line with the Maven 2.x end of life from November 2009, it does imply slightly some more work from your side than usual.

To try out this latest version:

• Users of the Maven 3 plugin need to do two things:

  • Switch to the new artifactId for the Codehaus Cargo plugin: cargo-maven3-plugin

  • Change the plugin version 1.9.0

• Users of the Java API can download the new Uberjar from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-core-uberjar/1.9.0/cargo-core-uberjar-1.9.0.jar

• Similarly, users of the ANT tasks can download the new ANT tasks from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-ant/1.9.0/cargo-ant-1.9.0.jar

• Finally, the ones who want to see the Cargo Daemon can get it from https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/codehaus/cargo/cargo-daemon-webapp/1.9.0/cargo-daemon-webapp-1.9.0.war and either use the WAR directly as an executable JAR or as a WAR file deployed on another Web container

Enjoy!
