+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
