> In short, IMHO we should nag users (and indirectly plugin devs as well) to keep up, especially if they want to sit on Maven 3.9 train that is taking them to Maven4. This is where this all fails IMHO, it assumes there is always a new plugin version but in practise it is not true and what is probably worse is that it is not even needed technically. Would be really great to avoid to request releases without any change except a version upgrade + keep one of our strength which was a relatively high portability of the build accross versions compared to concurrents. > Well, I believe they do not update their operating system, Java or anything, because it also "just works". Also, if it "just works" why would they go with Maven 3.9 (why would the go the fuss to upgrade maven in the first place?). These kind of statements are full of contradictions for me, so I never considered them. This is exactly the opposite, they upgrade their work tools (maven , java, os etc) but the projects are under rules which are not "on your machine" so you can not always upgrade and the key point is previous one, we cant assume all plugin writers will release a plugin version per maven version - once again technically there is no reason we request that. > And no, we will not break EVERYBODY, we will break (well, they will break themselves when upgrade to Maven4) those users who use Maven2 plugins, that's a huge difference: we have no resources to support compatibility across 2 major versions. Maven3 did support Maven2 plugins, just like Maven4 will support Maven3 plugins (but not Maven2). I think this is really fair expectation, but if not, stick with 3.8.6 as long as you want (the user I mean). Yep but the current implementation does not respect that. I only have two points in my comments: 1. the warnings are not consistent and the heuristic used does not work so we should just go without another one, 2. hope it is not a default/all-the-time check (could be a daily like snapshot check) - I care more about seeing the warnings all the time than the perf for now until the algorithm used will be very slow but it is not yet the case -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
