There's been some discussion regarding this lately and my take is that we've settled on that requiring Maven 3.1.0 is ok for plugins. In the same discussion I *think* we settled on that a Java 8 requirement is ok. What I don't think we all agreed on is if it's ok to bump the requirements without a real code need, or if there needs to be a need before we bump. So it's up to each dev to decide when working on a plugin.
There should even be a (draft) page outlining this. Don't have the URL at hands right now though but it's in the list archive. /Anders On Fri, Jul 17, 2020 at 9:02 AM Dennis Lundberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Where do we currently stand when it comes to the minimum version of > Maven required by our plugins?
