+1 to upgrade to Maven 3.5.4 prerequisite for future plugins releases what I'd like is that we better document compatibility updates: - on Java prerequisites for components - on Java and Maven prerequisites for plugins
I found one community plugin that does a really excellent job at that [1] I don't know if we should just add such a page in every component and plugin, and make it a standard convention that is fullfilled by hand (and will be fixed if we forgot some details) or if we can automate some work probably we can start by hand: it's long overdue: it's what users need when we update prerequisites, as we did in the past and we'll continue because that's normal life Regards Hervé [1] https://github.com/git-commit-id/git-commit-id-maven-plugin#plugin-compatibility-with-java Le dimanche 13 mars 2022, 12:48:03 CET Michael Osipov a écrit : > Folks, > > as you might now we are dragging old luggage over and over with every > new year.
