Hi,
I wanted to get thoughts on starting to require a Java 5 JVM to run
stuff we build. We currently restrict to 1.4 across the board.
I think before this can be done we need to make sure we're not making
life difficult for people. It may be the case that most people don't
have a problem using a 1.5 JDK in their environment but it might be
an ideal time to use one of the online survey services to take a real
poll. If the vast majority of users were not adversely affected by a
move to 1.5 I would be fine with, as I'd like to use 1.5 where
possible. But if it's not the case we probably should hold off on
this requirement.
Here's what I'm thinking:
- MRM and Continuum should switch now. Stuff built there is rarely
consumed elsewhere, and a Java 5 requirement outside of that is
reasonable
- We could switch for Maven 2.1, as long as we have improved
support for invoking external toolchains. This would facilitate
doing some much nicer stuff with plugins like annotations.
- A generified plexus would be very cool, but is an aside here and
post plexus-1.0 in my opinion.
- I think it's best to keep the lower requirement on Doxia,
Surefire (1.3), and Wagon for now.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
I'll likely propose a vote on the first point before the first/next
releases of them unless there are reasons not to.
Cheers,
Brett
