Eliotte, You are missing the topic of this whole thread. What you wrote in any of your mails is totally unrelated to the thread.
I do feel sorry, or unsure, maybe sympathize with your work issues and difficulties, but I still cannot understand what all that has to do with the ASF Maven Project? This thread is about the "Java requirement for Maven4" that is not even GA yet! I am 99.999% sure it is NOT yet used (as it is not released yet) in any of those 'big tech' companies, that tortures you.
