Hi, I tried improvements on http://maven.staging.apache.org/maven-2.x-eol.html
And here are some small updates proposed to the announcement: the newest idea is that plugins already at 3.x will switch to Maven 3 prerequisite for plugin's version 3.5 (see compiler which should go from 3.2 to 3.5 to follow the pattern) Regards, Hervé Le jeudi 5 mars 2015 19:35:04 Karl Heinz Marbaise a écrit : > Hi, > > here is my suggestions for the user list announcement regarding Maven > 2.2.1 EoL / Plugins version lift / JDK etc. > > Any enhancement / things which should also be mentioned please reply and > make appropriate changes / Thinks which i have missed... > > ------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Apache Maven Users, Based on the End of Life of Maven 2.2.1 (a year ago), now the time has come to make the final releases of Apache Maven Plugins which support Maven 2.X: next releases will have Maven 3 as prerequisite. We have documented the final releases of plugins which support Maven 2.2.1 and Java 5: the complete list can be found here: http://maven.apache.org/maven-2.x-eol.html The next step on our roadmap is to lift all plugin versions to 3.X in general to make clear those plugins will only work with Maven 3.0+. Furthermore the Java minimum requirement will be lifted to Java 6 as well. No "rule" without exceptions. Here they come: * maven-site-plugin: version 3.4 works with Maven 2.X Version 3.5 will require Maven 3 * maven-compiler-plugin: version 3.2 works with Maven 2.X Version 3.5 will require Maven 3 * maven-plugin-plugin: version 3.4 works with Maven 2.X Version 3.5 will require Maven 3 * maven-pmd-plugin: version 3.4 works with Maven 2.X but already requires Java 6 Version 3.5 will require Maven 3 The following plugins already have the Maven 3.0+ requirement without following 3.X version pattern: * maven-scm-publish-plugin: version 1.1 requires Maven 3, last version compatible with Maven 2.x is version 1.0-beta-2 * maven-shade-plugin: version 2.3 requires Maven 3, last version compatible with Maven 2.x is version 1.7.1 So to make things more clear, here is an example: Currently, we have the maven-clean-plugin with version 2.6.1. This plugin supports Maven 2.2.1 and Java 5 minimum. This plugin will get a new major release with version 3.0 which has Maven 3.0 AND Java 6 prerequisites.
