   Maven 3.9.12 was released recently that also checks the required Maven and 
Java versions in plugin descriptors. One of the plugins I wrote was compiled 
using Java 8, but due to a transitive dependency*  contains Java 16 in the 
plugin descriptor. It has worked just fine with Java 8 and 11, but because of 
this incorrect automatic recognition I now have to release a patch. Fortunately 
it's as easy as setting the `requiredJavaVersion` explicitly, but it's still 
annoying that all projects that use the plugin cannot build with Maven 3.9.12.
   
   * I'm guessing, the direct dependencies contain no Java 16 classes.
