Hell, I don't support runtimes earlier than 1.8. I have always been the opinion libraries should only support the most recent and prior runtime, that means tiles should shortly only support 1.8 and 1.9. I don't know anything about tiles usage metric, but I can only assume users of tiles would look to use the it in new projects, not touch it in existing or upgrade only if the maven version plugin told them a new one is available.
I'm not going to tell you what to do except don't make it hard on yourself especially as I've been out of work a few months and looking for a job, tiles hasn't been at the forefront of my mind :) > On 6 Sep 2017, at 21:06, mck <m...@apache.org> wrote: > > >> >> Why not stick with Java 6 using the Maven toolchain plugin? >> > > > Yes, I will do that if needed for the minor.minor versions. > Otherwise, personally, I'm uncomfortable relying upon jenkins. > > Do we have developers who are building with JDK 1.6 or JDK 1.7 ? > If we don't, and can't foresee it, why bother supporting it?
