instead of continuing discussion here and there about Maven and Java prerequisites, I started to describe our past plan to work on defining our future plan: https://maven.apache.org/developers/compatibility-plan.html
Don't hesitate to contribute on the future upgrade of prerequisites, one useful documentation for users requiring to stay on earlier Java releases will be IMHO to not only put current Java Version prerequisite but also the last release requiring previous Java versions. For example on plugin or components https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/summary.html adding an additional section telling the last release compatible with Java 7, 6 or even 5: that should not be much documentation to add, and very useful to ease the current hard research anybody has to do when the last release of a component has a Java prerequisite that does not match your own expectations (without judging the expectations validity of component provider nor consumer) Regards, Hervé Le mardi 19 mai 2020, 07:45:27 CEST Olivier Lamy a écrit : > Hi > Any objections for this PR > https://github.com/apache/maven-site-plugin/pull/21 ? > I prefer to ask rather than seeing my commit reverted > > cheers --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
