Maven 3.0 has undergone major refactorings, and correspondingly, a battery of backwards compatibility tests to ensure a smooth transition from Maven 2.0. These refactorings prepare Maven for the next several years of development, including the separation of the POM file language from from the POM in-memory processor, which is already leading to Groovy, Ruby and YAML based POM file parsers.
Explore what's new on the cutting edge release of Maven, version 3.0. We'll explore the performance improvements, features that make debugging Maven issues easier, and changes to POMs that may require modifications to your build, but will result in more determinate build outputs.

Does your application transmit customer information? Are there fields of sensitive customer data stored in your DB? Can your application be used on insecure networks? If so, you need a working knowledge of encryption and how to leverage Open Source APIs and libraries to make securing your data as easy as possible. Encryption is quickly becoming a developer's new frontier of responsibility in many data-centric applications.
In today's data-sensitive and news-sensationalizing world, don't become the next headline by an inadvertent release of private customer or company data. Secure your persisted, transmitted and in-memory data and learn the terminology you'll need to navigate the ecosystem of symmetric and public/private key encryption.
