Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6913:
-------------------------------------
We had to push this to JDK8 because Maven now requires it to compile.
In our setup we use Jenkins are JDK for the code and as as JRE to execute the
integration tests, but that is one way to run the integration tests.
There are projects that can't upgrade to the latest Maven for some reason, so
they maintain their own fork, but they keep checking it against the current
maven-integration-tests (hence the cool part that you can specify ranges). For
them it might be crucial to keep the targeted Maven running on Java
"older/different".
