I would suggest to use a build toolchain (which has been around forever) for the actual compilation and maybe raise the minimum requirement for Maven to be something more modern. So you use a JDK 7+ to drive the build process but can use a JDK 6 to actually compile the jars.
We used that setup in many project where Java 6 compat was required but newer tools that need 7+ are desired. The javadoc lint errors are annoying (and it is a lot of busywork to fix them), so we should either turn off linting in JDK7+ or make a site build failure not a release blocker. -h On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 9:05 AM, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 15, 2016 at 1:34 AM, Stian Soiland-Reyes <st...@apache.org> > wrote: > >> I wonder if japicmp needs >> >> mvn clean package site >> > > That does not work with Java 6, an annoyance since the requirements for > this component is Java 6: > > [ERROR] Failed to execute goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.4:site (default-site) on > project commons-beanutils: Execution default-site of goal > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.4:site failed: An API > incompatibility was enco > untered while executing > org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.4:site: > java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: japicmp/maven/JApiCmpReport : > Unsupported major.minor version 51.0 > > With Java 7, it works, so now we're getting somewhere. japicmp needs > special care which users would never know about unless documented. > > Some Commons component have a BUILDING.txt file.
