Hi,
TLDR; introduce maven.experimental.buildconsumer and push Java requirement
to Java 8
now that Maven 3.6.2 is out for a couple of weeks, it seems like we didn't
face real regressions.
The only one might be tricky is the issue related to Tycho.
However, I think we're ready to push Maven to the next level.
For those actively reading this list, they should recognize the need for
splitting up the pom as it is on the local system versus the pom being
uploaded. Once we truly control this mechanism we can think of
improvements on model 5.0.0 and new fileformats.
I've created and implemented MNG-6656[1]. It also contains a zip with an
example (original, patched, README) to understand what's happening.
In order to make this successful, we need IDEs and CI Servers to
understand and support these changes. The likely need to implement one of
the interfaces[2].
The new interface uses Java8 Functions (and especially SAXEventFactory is
way easier to read+maintain with Java 8). I've tried to keep Maven Java 7
compatible, but that was too hard to do.
So I'd like to use this opportunity to move Maven forward and start
requiring Java 8.
There are some other improvements I'd like to add (those messages will
follow), so this will imply that it will take some time before we do a new
release.
WDTY,
Robert
