John Casey commented on MNG-4143:
---------------------------------
Investigating going back to 1.4 source compat, and simply catching
NoClassDefFoundError for javax.xml.xpath.* classes, then printing a large
warning to the user to encourage JDK 1.5+ usage.
> Update Java requirement to 1.5
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4143
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4143
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Reporter: John Casey
> Assignee: John Casey
> Fix For: 2.1.1
>
>
> note that the required Java version for 2.1.1 has been upgraded to 1.5.
> JDK 1.4 will no longer be supported to _execute_ Maven. We'll need to
> document how to configure toolchains, etc. to support _building_ 1.4 projects
> using a 1.4 JDK (to avoid api incompatibilities with 1.5).
