Just an FYI, if you're a user, nothing will change.

If you're a developer, here are the changes:
- The lib dir is gone
- build.sh / build.bat are gone, too
- Ant is not shipped with JGroups any longer; you need to have it 
installed somewhere in the path
- When compiling or running unit tests, the ant script will do the 
following:
   - Check if ./lib exists and contains JAR files
   - If not, it will fetch ivy from maven and copy it into ./lib 
(creating ./lib)
     - Fetch all dependent JARs into ./lib

The good thing is that JGroups now ships without a single JAR; they're 
all downloaded dynamically.

If you want to source JGroups into IntelliJ IDEA or eclipse, I suggest 
run an "ant compile" first, to populate ./lib and then source the directory.

Cheers,
