Michael Osipov updated MNG-7121:
--------------------------------
Fix Version/s: wontfix-candidate
> better support for multiple JDK
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-7121
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7121
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Reporter: Pablo Grisafi
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: wontfix-candidate
>
>
> Java evolves at a much faster pace now. In the compay I work for we have
> projects on Java 6 (sadly yes), 8, 11 and 15.
>
> The toolchains plugin helps, but it involves manually editing an xml file,
> and in my experience people tend to forget about it.
>
> I think a better user experiense would be a ~/.m2/jdks folder, with one
> subfolder per jdk, a little like sdkman does it.
> Maven could even automaticlly download the one you need for a specific
> project if it is not already present, like it does with any dependency. It
> will be more portable and less manual work. Dependency handling and jdk
> handling will be managed be maven in a consistent way, cloning a project from
> github will be way more straightforward.
