I do intend to investigate Gradle, but I can't shake the feeling that Maven 3 will really rock. On that note, about all I have time for tonight is to pull together a few links. Nothing a couple minutes of searching couldn't accomplish, but hopefully it is of value.
Here's a presentation that happened all the way back in April. I'm sure there are more recent ones, so I'll try to update with additional links. There are (not surprisingly) quite a lot of good posts on the Sonatype blog. In particular, there is a series of posts titled "Paving the desire lines". It's very satisfying reading a developer talk about the small finishing touches to a project with real passion. I haven't read the whole post yet (and I spot 2 parts so far), but it has my appetite whet.
Maven 3.0 alphas have been coming out recently, with Alpha 3 coming out last Friday. I just grabbed it tonight (seems to be alpha 4 now) and took it for a quick spin. To test it, I built Hudson/main, which has 4.0.0 POMs.
This merits close following...
UPDATE: Walter linked a more recent video+slide presentation by Jason van Zyl
Jason van Zyl held a presentation on "Maven Reloaded" at the Düsseldorf JUG, Germany on 12 Nov.

Maybe it is interesting for some of your readers!
Thanks for the link! I'll append it to my post. I have barely searched at all on Maven 3 yet, so there is probably a lot of other good information out there as well.
