Tamas Cservenak commented on MRESOLVER-671:
-------------------------------------------
For me, all this your are for comes from a bad reflex that for some reason
became norm among Maven users (and it seems devs as well):
"you should build the project using the Java version that project targets" (or
in other words, if we build Java 8 stuff, let's use Java 8 to build it).
Colloraly:
if you use build a native app that supports Win95, it is expectation to have it
built on Win95.

> 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.
