Hello Ioan, It's very likely that Maven 2 will be able to build Apache James or at least parts of it. The only big incompatibility between Maven 2 and 3 is the documentation and site plugins, and you can skip those at least for initial packaging (answer no to the Javadoc question when mh_make asks it).
I have some initial work for packaging Maven 3, but my efforts have stalled due to a lack of time. If you can help, great, otherwise it might take quite a few more months to get anything ready. Maven 3 is a big beast and takes time to package.
