Re: EOL of 1.5 as minimum

Hey All. Regarding the discussions around upgrading to a minimum of Java 1.6. Whilst I understand the desire for developers to play with something shiny and new, I do find that the current 1.5 based Maven is more than sufficient for our needs. I lot of responses about the upgrade are normally ar

Totally agree... if people really need to build for older Java runtimes they still can.. but if Oracle thinks they dont want to support JDK < 1.7 without getting paid why would the Maven project do it ;-) For now 1.6 seems just fine and I would even say a jump to 1.7 in the next year or three (;-

What are the big features and possibilities we gain from 1.6? Build systems are pretty late in the chain. We should still be able to build on systems which are 2+ years old. Is there a technical reason to restrict this or is it just that we don't actively support it anymore (not doing IT, etc

Hi, As we are now in 2013, it's probably time to think about that (again). Reading [1], even 1.6 won't be anymore updated after feb 2013. Can we say we are safe to go to 1.6 as minimum required ? NOTE: That will probably need a vote. So depending on how the thread move, I will start a vote (or n

good catch. (sorry I don't have anymore 1.5 locally and animal sniffer was not configured) So I cancel the vote. As we are now in 2013, I will start a vote on an other thread to move to 1.6 required to see reactions. 2013/2/6 Robert Scholte : > -1 > > I've checked out the code from > https://svn
