Hi there,
in preparation of the switch to Java 8, I have updated lots of maven
plugin dependencies and also explicitly required the use of Maven 3.2.1
(this is the version we use in CI, and was apparently was also de facto
required already).
I ran integration tests after each of these changes, but can't promise
that I didn't break something not covered by the tests.
There are a few recommended plugin updates still to be done:
[INFO] org.apache.felix:maven-scr-plugin .................. 1.21.0 -> 1.24.0
[INFO] org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-maven-plugin 1.3.8.RELEASE ->
1.5.2.RELEASE
...but these require more changes, and I'll open separate tickets for these.
With this done, we can switch to Java 8 (as required language level);
I'll do that later today.
That said, while at it, we could go even further and require Maven 3.3.9
- I've been building past branches of Jackrabbit and Oak with it, and
haven't noticed any problems. Feedback on this would be appreciated.
Best regards, Julian
