Sean Busbey commented on AVRO-2860:
-----------------------------------
It is not accurate to say jdk8 is EOL. Both the openjdk 7 updates and the
openjdk 8 updates projects are still active and there are options to purchase
commercial support for both jdks still.
> More Closely Adhere to ASF Parent POM
> -------------------------------------
>
> Key: AVRO-2860
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2860
> Project: Apache Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: David Mollitor
> Assignee: David Mollitor
> Priority: Major
>
> So, I see that the project currently inherits from:
> {code:xml}
> <parent>
> <groupId>org.apache</groupId>
> <artifactId>apache</artifactId>
> <version>23</version>
> </parent>
> {code}
> That's great.
> However, there are quite a few places where the values from this parent POM
> are being overrided and I'm not quite sure why. The Avro project should be
> pretty conservative here and be sticking as closely as possible to the parent
> POM in the same spirit that Avro is build with Java 1.8 (which is EOL).
> I propose reverting some plugin versions so that the project more closely
> aligns with the POM and then the project need only stay in sync with the
> parent POM releases and not each plugin individually.
