Maven Compat

 Maven2 classes maintained as compatibility layer for plugins that need to keep Maven2 compatibility.

 Plugins should avoid these classes and be updated to use only Maven3 dependencies (and require Maven3): see
 {{{https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/Plugin+migration+to+Maven3+dependencies} Plugin migration to Maven3 dependencies}}

 A plugin is described in a {{{../../api/maven-api-plugin/plugin.html}<<<META-INF/maven/plugin.xml>>> plugin descriptor}},
 generally generated from plugin sources using {{{/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/}maven-plugin-plugin}}.
