There's been some discussion regarding this lately and my take is that
we've settled on that requiring Maven 3.1.0 is ok for plugins. In the same
discussion I *think* we settled on that a Java 8 requirement is ok.
What I don't think we all agreed on is if it's ok to bump the requirements
without a real code need, or if there needs to be a need before we bump. So
it's up to each dev to decide when working on a plugin.

There should even be a (draft) page outlining this. Don't have the URL at
hands right now though but it's in the list archive.
