I'm genuinely curious, is there a reason why Maven has not switched to
fixed release dates and Java support policies?
Every other Java project in which I participate, including the JDK
itself, JavaFX, and NetBeans, switched long ago to predetermined release
dates and Java versions. For any of them, you can figure out now what
release will be available 10 years from now and what versions of Java
that release will support. All of them -- especially the JDK -- have
found the switch to be extremely beneficial.
Is there something fundamental about the Maven project that makes it
different? Was this discussed earlier and I missed it? (I joined the
mailing list in 2022.)
Thanks,
John
