Sam Yi created MDEP-598:
---------------------------
Summary: CLONE - Unpack goal fails in java versions earlier than 7
Key: MDEP-598
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-598
Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: unpack
Affects Versions: 2.10
Reporter: Sam Yi
Assignee: Robert Scholte
When using the unpack goal with Java 1.5 or 1.6, the following error message
will appear:
{{\[ERROR\] Failed to execute goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:unpack (unpack) on
project ID-JRE_8.0: Execution unpack of goal
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:unpack failed: An API
incompatibility was encountered while executing
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:unpack:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.io.File.toPath()Ljava/nio/file/Path;}}
This is obviously calling a method introduced in Java 7. This contradicts the
about page\[1\] that indicates that JDK 1.5 is the minimum required.
This bug does not appear until version 2.10. Version 2.9 works fine.
