Konrad Windszus reassigned MPOM-264:
------------------------------------
Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Parameterize maven-compiler-plugin with parameter "release" when running on
> JDK 9+
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MPOM-264
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPOM-264
> Project: Maven POMs
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: asf
> Affects Versions: ASF-23
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Assignee: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> Instead of using {{source}} and {{target}} the new parameter {{release}}
> (https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#release)
> should be used with Java 9+ as that also checks whether the used API is
> provided in the target Java release
> (https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/tools/javac.htm#GUID-AEEC9F07-CB49-4E96-8BC7-BCC2C7F725C9__GUID-D343F6B4-3FDD-43A8-AD24-43DD70214471).
> To be able to support both compilation with Java < 9 and above a profile
> should be used which either configures {{source}} and {{target}} or
> {{release}}.
> You have to observe though that the parameter values are different though,
> as the former supports 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 while the latter only supports 6, 7
> and 8.
