Herve Boutemy commented on MWRAPPER-33:
---------------------------------------
I'm not a fan of forcing people to upgrade if not upgrading does not cost us
anything/much (and I'm not judging "you are obsolete" people who can't upgrade)
I understand that remaining at Java 5 cost a real limitation in what JDK we can
use to build
With Java 7, we target Maven 3.3.1 https://maven.apache.org/docs/history.html
Java 6 does not add much value to the target Maven releases
Java 5 is beyond the JDK minimum acceptable version as of 2021
then MWRAPPER-34 with target JDK 7 is IMHO a good compromise to smoothly switch
to Apache Maven Wrapper: we'll see later to upgrade, there is not so much code
in wrapper to maintain
> Use java 8 in maven-wrapper
