Michael Osipov commented on MPOM-222: ------------------------------------- Java 7 would be reasonable for now. [~rfscholte]. > update target JDK from 6 to 8 > ----------------------------- > > Key: MPOM-222 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-222 > Project: Maven POMs > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Samael Bate > Priority: Major > > currently the maven-pom set's compiler source and compiler target to JDK 6. > Java 6 is already EOL and even 7 is old. Please just jump straight to setting > Java 8 as the target. Otherwise all the projects that inherit it are stuck > trying to support jdk 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 which is bound to be a > burden. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.14#76016)
