Michael Osipov commented on MNG-7388:
-------------------------------------
But this isn't just only the plugin, isn't it? Same applies to dependencies. I
wonder whether an enforcer rule can do this. Analyze class version of plugin.
Maybe it comes too late.
> Support Java prerequisites for Maven plugins
> --------------------------------------------
>
> 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.
