Sandeep More commented on KNOX-1075:
------------------------------------
Hello [~rkellogg]
Maven 3.5.0 is the most recent release (2017-04-07), there would be a lot of
folks who are on the previous releases who might have to update their maven
just for Knox. For e.g. I am on 3.3.9 and I am able to build Knox without any
issues. Hadoop core has maven dependency 3.0.2 and greater. I think making
users use latest version of maven would not be a good idea. I do like the idea
of enforcing maven version though, we can try going down to 3.0.X if possible
to make sure we work with same build tools as Hadoop core.
A suggestion, instead of using <version>3.5.0</version> we can use a range of
versions, such as <version>[3.5,)</version> same thing for Java.
