Release Notes
The following sections show the highlights of this release.
Reading POMs
This release provides initial support for teams that want to access information from their Maven POMs as space properties.
On creation of a new space, users may reference a POM file (by GAV or URL) and create a Version Document. This Version document references a Metadata document that contains the POM information as document properties. These properties are made available as space properties and can therefore be displayed or used to reference versioned information on remote servers (such as Nexus or a Maven site).
