Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6293:
-------------------------------------
Currently we support close to "out-of-the-box". The problem is testing: there
are several different ways to test, but it has impact on how to build a MRJAR.
All can be read at
https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/multirelease.html
Currently we define 5 (!) patterns and all are available at
https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/tree/master/src/it/multirelease-patterns.
I'm going to push this forward to Maven 5 just as a consideration, we still
need to figure out how and if it is worth it.

> In JDK 9 the concept of multi-release jars were introduced:
> http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238
> It would be wonderful if maven supported building multi-release jars
> out-of-the-box. With the future high release-cadence of Java, this may become
> an increasingly important feature.
