+1 if someone really wants to stay with JDK 5, just don't update plugins to latest and greatest
and IMHO, if we need to maintain Maven 3.0.x in parallel from 3.2.x, that's not because of the JDK prerequisite: that's because there are problems to upgrade some plugins because of Aether change Regards, Hervé Le mercredi 24 décembre 2014 14:20:06 Kristian Rosenvold a écrit : > >Oops.
