- This list compares plugin availability between M1 and M2, tracking all publicly available plugins.
- If a publicly available plugin is not on the list, please email the Maven users list asking to add it.
- Note that in M2, no plugins ship with the core. M2 downloads them transparently as needed.
- A red X in the M2 column means the plugin is not yet available for M2.
- We hope to convert all plugins in a priority order (popularity?) and as time permits.
- We need folks in the community to help out with the porting effort.
- If you can convert a plugin from M1 to M2, please email the Maven users list to have your comments added.
- The number of
is an attempt to priorities based on my guess at usage. 
= whether we need it is not yet determined and so should be the lowest priority
= Non functional
Key:
M1: Exists for Maven 1
M2: Exists for Maven 2
FC: Maven 2 version has all features of Maven 1 version
Doc: Plugin documentation is complete
Rel: Whether the Maven 2 version has been released (
is final, but may be Beta or Alpha as well)
