Michael Osipov commented on MNG-6399:
-------------------------------------
bq. e.g. if maven and all it's plugins and dependencies used to build, fully
embrace Java 9 Modules, could that make it smaller and more lightweight, faster
to load and potentially faster execution as only the required classes are being
loaded.
Zero benefit and too much work.
Bumping the Java version just to satisfy someone is plain stupid. As long as
you don't use those features, I so no compeling reason to do so. Of course, I
do agreee with Manfred that we have to make sure that Maven runs on any version.
