JDK 1.7 is still long alive and under maintenance. The Java SE 7 API won't be taken back due to whatever JVM fault :)) The JDK 8 is alive too short. I don't see any reason why the default Maven plugins have to go with awful 1.5 or 1.6. We can freely switch to javac 1.7 in default plugins and/or upgrade the Maven dist to 3.3.1. One way or another, any build can still use the sniffer plugin to check 1.5 signatures on the top of JDK7 or JDK8. -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/DISCUSS-Move-everything-to-1-6-take-2-was-Re-I-can-t-make-a-release-tp5820796p5821968.html Sent from the Maven Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
