Tamas Cservenak commented on MRESOLVER-671:
-------------------------------------------
I never understood this "requirement for non bloody edge Java", as you do not
insist on using OS that is from times when Maven3 was incepted, do you? We all
use latest modern OS and IMO for the very same reason we should use latest
moden Java and other tool versions as well, and this is totally unrelated to
"--release 8" compiler flag (to the fact that stuff we are building on modern
OS with modern Java is specd to "runs on Java 8").

> Project: Maven Resolver
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Elliotte Rusty Harold
> Priority: Major
>
> Apparently maven-resolver now requires Java 21 to build. It won't build even
> with Java 17. This is getting inconveniently out of sync with what devs have
> installed. E.g we can't even jdeprscan for Java 11 or 8 with this version.
> This should be pushed back to 17 or further if possible. The bleeding edge is
> too bloody.
