The task of updating packages had become very difficult as Maven, a now very common Java project build tool, was not properly integrated in the distribution. Many Java libraries installed using the\u00a0old\u00a0packages would not be usable by <a href=\"http:\/\/maven.apache.org\/\">Maven<\/a>. Moreover the version of Maven was obsolete and would not allow building recent software. This was a serious problem for maintaining the Java stack.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, thanks to\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\" http:\/\/akurtakov.blogspot.com\/2011\/03\/rpm-distros-unite-at-least-their-java.html\">collaboration between<\/a> Mageia (dmorgan), openSUSE (Stephen Shaw) and Fedora (Alexander Kurtakov and Stanislav Ochotnicky), the first release of Mageia will include a fully updated and clean\u00a0Java stack.
