Konrad Windszus commented on MNG-7388:
--------------------------------------
To be honest I don't care where it ends up (pom.xml or plugin descriptor), but
maybe the latter makes more sense. At the same time the minimum supported Maven
version should probably also end up there!
> Support Java prerequisites for packaging "maven-plugin"

> Key: MNG-7388
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7388
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently only the minimum Maven version can be explicitly required for a
> Maven plugin via {{prerequisites->maven}}. The same should be possible for
> the Java version, as Maven plugins compiled for Java 11 won't run on Java 8
> and currently only emit the nasty "UnsupportedClassVersion" errors.
> The plugin reporting plugin uses some heuristics in
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/blob/c6d0808b92423b969f8d2aac500b7263399d0373/maven-plugin-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/plugin/PluginReport.java#L739,
> but this is only considered for the plugin documentation but never at run
> time.
> This requires a Maven model change though, and therefore can only end up in
> Maven 5.
