Hi, Last year we have discussion about to switch to 3.5.4 [1] [2]
Today we have first plugin mave-help-plugin which require 3.6.3 Most plugins have 3.2.5 as minimum - we did hard work last year, many releases and so on. [3] When we want to upgrade m-help-p in ASF Maven parent we should also bump the minimum Maven version used for build [4]. By the way, on our Jenkins we use 3.6.3 for plugin testing [5], so we don't know if they still are working for older versions. So therefore I'm for going forward and start switching to 3.6.3 [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/068gkkm2ft8cfp1dmccbw9c6667nzdml [2] https://lists.apache.org/thread/15vonvlgfjprd37bg5svp7z1rst9vlrz [3] https://ci-maven.apache.org/job/Maven/job/maven-box/job/maven-dist-tool/job/master/site/dist-tool-prerequisites.html [4] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-398 [5] https://github.com/apache/maven-jenkins-lib/blob/master/vars/asfMavenTlpPlgnBuild.groovy#L43 -- Sławomir Jaranowski
