basepom/basepom basepom-32

Version 32

on GitHub

This version is identical to version 31, except that it requires a JDK 9+ as the system JDK (the JDK that runs maven). If the build can not be run on JDK 9+, basepom 31 has identical functionality. It no longer supports the toolchain plugin.

Changed

• Requires JDK 9+ as the system JDK. Most important change is switching from <source> and <target> for the compiler plugin to <release>. This switch, which is only available in JDK 9+, allows correct compilation for all older versions of Java (6, 7, 8 etc.) without the need to provide a bootclasspath or the toolchain plugin. The resulting binaries will still be compatible with the given JDK (JDK 11, the current LTS version) supports 6 - 11.
• The values supported by the project.build.targetJdk have changed. 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 are no longer supported; the value must now be a single number (6 - the version of the current system JDK). Default is now 8 (was 1.8).
• A new property project.build.systemJdk has been introduced. This specifies the minimal version (enforced by the enforcer) for the JDK that runs maven. The default is 9.

Removed

• The toolchain plugin has been removed.
