If maven itself can (and want) to stick to older java versions, can then
please this one kindly be considered:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-8040
for example the tycho-maven-plugin (and probably others as well) the
issue is that *dependencies* of the project have moved to higher
versions, so one either can't get bugfixes/new features anymore or
require a higher version implicitly (currently java 17 for Tycho but
soon Java 21).
Giving plugins the opportunity to declare minimum version and maven give
good error message instead of fail would be very helpful.
