Hi, If we are going to release 3.3.0 very soon, like this week or the next, there won't be any time to start using Java 7 features in the 3.3.0 release. Therefor I would prefer to go with Java 6 for 3.3.0 and announce, in the 3.3.0 release notes, that the 3.3.x line is the last line that will work with Java 6. Depending on what the core developers want to focus on after the 3.3.0 release is done, the core can either go 3.3.1-SNAPSHOT with Java 6 or 3.4.0-SNAPSHOT with Java 7. This would also be consistent with our policy [1] for plugins/components wanting to move to a higher major Java version, in that we should release what we currently have in trunk before upgrading to a higher major Java version.
My votes are: -1 for Java 7 in 3.3.0 +1 for Java 7 in 3.4.0 [1] http://maven.apache.org/developers/java6.html On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 1:19 PM, Igor Fedorenko <[email protected]> wrote: > With maven core version change to 3.3.0 on master, any objections I > change compile source/target to java 7? > > -- > Regards, > Igor > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > -- Dennis Lundberg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
