Newer JDKs? The new release argument of the java compiler was inspired by Animal Sniffer. With JDK 9+ there's no reason to use Animal Sniffer, just use the release option and you should be good. In fact, if you want to make signatures for Java9+, you should make one per module, and that's when it starts to get complicated.

Use “enforce byte code version” rule: http://www.mojohaus.org/extra-enforcer-rules/enforceBytecodeVersion.html. You can set ignoreScopes to test.

Anyone know how to validate newer jdk methods are not used?

I'm maintaining Doxia and maven-site-plugin for a long time, trying to keep the prerequisites (for end users particularly) as low as possible when I don't

+1 - my feeling too.

Currently, maven-site-plugin (which is what users see, without knowing much
about Doxia) requires Java 6 only.
With Doxia 1.8 / maven-site-plugin 3.7, in fact, there is a little trick: one Doxia module (Markdown) requires Java 7, because of the library used, and I documented how one can downgrade this module if he strictly require to use
maven-site-plugin 3.7 with Java 6.
But for sure, when building maven-site-plugin, I didn't try to add a profile to be able to build with Java 6: Java 7 is required to build maven-site-
plugin.

Honestly, for Java 6, maven-site-plugin 3.7 is the last version: now it's time
to drop it and require Java 7 if you want newer version of the plugin.

Then I'm full ok to upgrade Doxia requirement for Doxia 1.9 and maven-site-
plugin 3.8 to Java 7.


On httpunit, AFAIK it's only for Doxia tests during its build: I don't have any issue with building Doxia with Java 8 to produce jar that require Java 7
only.

How I tripped over this was the enforcer plugin - enforcer found Java 8 code being brought in by httpunit and said “no”.

Not knowing a lot about the enforcer plugin, is there a way to build the primary artifacts at compliance level v1.6, but build and run the tests at v1.8?
