No, Maven will (correctly) close URLClassLoaders on java7 and will
continue to work as before on older JVMs. Here is the code that
implements this logic

Does this mean Maven will now require Java 7 as the running JVM?
Oddly - I don't see any close() method mentioned on:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ClassLoader.html
anywhere?

I suspect this is related to the change in Classworlds 2.4.1+ to use the
new ClassLoader.close() method available in Java7 to forcibly close plugin
ClassLoaders when the plugin/container realm is disposed. This happens
after the Maven build is finished, but before JVM shutdown hooks run.
