Hi,

see here:

http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-dev/201503.mbox/%3C20150320213920.6AE4B17423%40minotaur.apache.org%3E

In contradiction to the mail we have decided to define the minimum Maven version 3.0 ...

Based on the minimum we have decided (3.0) this means JDK 6 minimum...

http://maven.apache.org/docs/history.html

If we have lifted all plugins / shared components we goto the next level...and set JDK 7 as minimum and define Maven 3.X which might be 3.2.X as minimum which would be the next logical step but it might be 3.3.X ...

You know this site:
https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/Maven/job/dist-tool-plugin/site/dist-tool-prerequisites.html

And of course we have exceptions of this (for example maven-checktyle-plugin)...

Hello,

I know this has been discussed before. I do not find relevant thread(s).
What was/is still the reason for keeping things targetted at Java 6?
Whenever I stumble upon something with '-target <1.7', can I just set it
to '-target 1.7'? I would like to use Java 7 features as soon as
possible. There is a real need to start using the try-with-resources
statement everywhere as soon as possible, for example.

Regards,
