-----------------------------------
Summary: Support multi-release jars
Key: MCOMPILER-323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-323
Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mike Drob
Java 9 allows for JRE version specific code in the form of "multi-release jars"
Older JREs will treat them as normal jars, while newer JREs will load the
appropriate specific classes. AFAICT, maven does not currently support this.
Compiler plugin should automatically detect when there are multiple source
levels and set MRJAR=True in the manifest.
Source directories could potentially be src/main/java, src/main/java9,
src/main/java10, etc. These probably need to be configurable as well, or some
deeper discussion about what makes sense and is intuitive for users.
