Elliotte Rusty Harold commented on MNG-6399:
--------------------------------------------
I agree with Michael: Zero benefit, nothing critical here. Even this year, I've
heard from developers as far back as Java **1.3**, hard as that is to believe.
We shouldn't bump the minimum Java version until there's a compelling reason to
do so, and I don't see one. Being on the latest and greatest isn't a compelling
reason to abandon even a single digit percentage of users, especially for a
tool that's as critical and widely used as Maven.
