> Is there any reason that the 2.1 branch cannot require java > 1.5 to compile and execute?
I am not a developer on Maven, so my vote would not count anyway. I am an independent IT consultant and want to offer some background information why this would be a "bad" decision. During my work for the last 3 customers (past 1,5 year), only one of them had support for both Java 1.4 and 1.5. The other two were still locked on Java 1.4. In one of these companies, the developers even had to "fight" to get Java 1.5 installed on their developer machines to have a more decent Java VM to run Eclipse more fluently. Their official build system however is only running on Java 1.4. This was mainly due to the fact that they were still running on Weblogic 8.0 which is not supported on Java 1.5. So even with the option of the compiler target flag, some companies refuse to accept this and they really want to have Maven running on Java 1.4, and compiling with exactly the same JDK that their production environment is using. In short: you would be surprised how much companies are still on Java 1.4! Please give this some more thought!
