This is probably the best idea so far. (Google specifically does not
want interns working on refactoring or maintenance work. New feature
development only.) Looking around I found this which appears to be a
few notes on the subject, but not more:

https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/multirelease.html

So I gather we don't have any multirelease support in maven yet, and I
don't think any is under way. That might be tractable for an intern
team provided they started with a clear design of what the input and
the output look like. Output is defined by the Java specs. For input,
we'd need to understand the source layout for multi-release jars. E.g.

src
  main
   java
   java9
   java14

or what exactly. We would also need to know how the pom.xml is going
to change to support this. If the maintainers think we can develop,
agree on, and commit to a specification for multirelease support in
Maven within the next month, then this could work. Does that sound
useful and feasible?
