I knew Websphere would come up :)
I understand how inconvenient it is - it took enough time with 20 developers. But how do you manage even upgrading Maven for all those developers? Do they share any development servers or is it local? Will the situation be the same in 6 months?
What I'm trying to gauge here is level of inconvenience vs flat out impossible. If it were a brand new installation, would it still be such a problem?
There are parts of Maven that use NIO, the new Exception paradigm and things like LinkedHashMap that are what require the new JVM which would be quite difficult to shift back to 1.3.
Thanks for your feedback.

Brett,
I am using M1 to build for Websphere 4, which runs on JDK 1.3. Asking the 50+ developers in my project to install another JDK, which is not supported by the AS, doesn't seem reasonable to me, certainly if it's for a minor upgrade. In my opinion, you shouldn't introduce this type of major modifications in a minor release. Leave that for M2... I know there are many other projects out there that are still using 1.3. Adding another JDK is often not that staightforward. You have to have a very good reason to do so.

---------------------------------------------------------------------Hi,
I wanted to make sure users are aware of this - some of the new code
being introduced to Maven 1.1 and 2.0 requires a 1.4 JVM to run. This
does not mean that it can not build for anything else - you can still target 1.1, and can even compile using a completely external JDK IIRC.
This is just a matter of what JVM runs Maven itself.
This still seems to be a problem for some. If anyone is in this
position, can you please shed some light on what the requirement is? That is if you -can not- install a 1.4 JDK to run Maven with. I'm
thinking this can only be because one is not available for a
particular operation system, of which I am not aware of any at this
point.
I don't see the position on this changing as it requires a fair bit of code change for little benefit, but I would like to know the impact.
Thanks, Brett
