[rules-dev] Upgrade to maven 2.2.1 from maven 2.0.9 + upgrade maven plugins?

[Michael Neale]

HI Geoffrey. I have been using 2.2.1 myself for various projects.

I think changing hudson maven version would be the limiting factor,
will see if we can find out what the plans are for that.

I wonder if people are kind of holding off big changes for maven 3 -
given that it is supposed to buy us all ponies, and solve world peace
etc (if it is very compatible with 2.x poms then I would be over the
moon !).
