Notes

This new release candidate of Maven 4 is released to get feedback from users.
Maven 4 has a restrained a few things comparent to Maven 3, so make sure to run the mvnup tool before trying to project with Maven 4.

Bean configuration bug

A bug has been found in the bean configuration system where field accessibility state is cached globally. This can cause plugin configuration injection to fail when the same configuration field is accessed multiple times or in different contexts during a build. This particularly affects the plugin unit tests.

This will be fixed by #11433 in the next release.

Concurrency issue in the v4 API

A concurrency issue has been found in the Maven 4 API (still in preview mode) and will be fixed by #11428 in the next release.

BOM packaging

Another bug has been found in how BOM projects are processed. When a project uses BOM packaging, the consumer POM is not being properly converted to standard POM packaging, and dependency versions could be lost in some cases.

This will be fixed by #11427 in the next release.

macOS: JLine native library may be blocked by Gatekeeper on first use

On macOS (especially Apple Silicon), the first invocation of mvn may fail to load the JLine native terminal library with an error such as:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: .../libjline-native/Mac/arm64/libjlinenative.jnilib: dlopen(...): code signature ... not valid for use in process: library load disallowed by system policy

This occurs when the binary distribution is downloaded via a web browser, which applies the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute.

Workaround (one-time fix):

xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /path/to/apache-maven-4.0.0-rc-5/lib/jline-native

Recommended download method (avoids the issue entirely):

curl -L -O https://archive.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-4/4.0.0-rc-5/binaries/apache-maven-4.0.0-rc-5-bin.tar.gz tar -xzf apache-maven-4.0.0-rc-5-bin.tar.gz

This is a known issue #10747 and will be addressed in a future release.
