It mainly depends of the usage you have of it. There are some specific features (post build deployment, snapshots dependencies) which aren't available in others jobs types. The migration to freestyle jobs is probably the easiest one from now as you may have a large part of maven job types features but you'll need some manual configuration. Using the workflow is a solution but for now it doesn't cover all integrations with plugins (contributions are welcome) and thus it may be blocker depending of the current usage you have of it Arnaud
