Hi, Last year we mark all Maven versions 3.6.x and older as EOL [1]
But we still try to support minimal API version for Core Maven Plugins as 3.2.5 I would like to propose to sich it for at least to 3.6.3 Reasonable reasons: (for me) - for standard CI build we use Maven 3.6.3 and newer - many of external plugins, like MojoHaus are switched to 3.6.3 - we have a hacks in code to try support old version in plugin, like in: EnhancedPluginDescriptorBuilder in plugin-tools [2], we can cleanup such code - I don't believe to someone want to do more fixes for EOL Maven version in plugins - so we should be a honest for users - and we should go forward [1] https://maven.apache.org/docs/history.html [2] https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/blob/master/maven-plugin-report-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugins/plugin/descriptor/EnhancedPluginDescriptorBuilder.java -- Sławomir Jaranowski
