 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:

 [I had responded to this last week with the "wrong" return address for the
 mailing list.  Thanks to @ryandesign for pointing this out.]

 Yes, this is the way forward in general.

 The subtlety was that maven-3.1.x changed the API points it exports to
 be used by other tools in a way that is incompatible with maven-3.0.x,
 so previous consumers of the maven3 port were broken if I we had updated
 maven3 to point to maven-3.1.x.  Enough time has passed, that most of
 these consumers of maven3 (or at least the ones that I use), now work
 with both the maven-3.0.x and maven-3.1.x API.

 Two ways forward:

 1)  maven3 goes to maven-3.1.x.  MacPorts no longer offers a maven-3.0.x
 installation

 2)  A new port 'maven31' gets introduced for maven-3.1.x; We rename
 'maven3' as 'maven30' which offers maven-3.0.x.  Possibly we use
 'maven3' as synonym for 'maven31'.

 In any event, maven-devel should be retired.
