Chapter 1: mvn 2.1.1 #11

The book is wrong in Chapter 1. It says one shall configure Jenkins to provide Maven 2.1.1. Actually game-of-life cannot be build using Maven 2, as it complains that it needs at least Maven 3.0.0. This is confusing for people that have not much experience with Maven.

I ran into the same problem. To get the example to work, I installed maven 3 on Ubuntu 12.04 using the following:

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install maven

At the moment, this installed 3.0.4 for me. On the "configure system gui", enter 3.0.4 under maven configuration.

@headcrashing The book has some discrepancies with the source code. If you take a look at the pom.xml you can see the plugin maven-enforcer-plugin that requires version 3.0 or higher.

Now that the version 2.x of Jenkins is already available , it would be a good time to re-edit this book.
