Not to confuse anyone we should separate the Java requirement and the Maven requirement (which we already do). The plugins will require Java 7 for the build after this change, but could still work with Maven 3.0 (depending on what we specify for the plugin). If someone still uses Java 6, they have to stay with Maven <3.3 as v3.3+ requires Java 7. For plugins that now bump to Java 7 requirement they have to stay with current plugin versions. So if we currently have a sever issue in a plugin we should probably release a bug fix for thay before going Java 7.
