I think that the truth is that versions less than 3.8.x are also EOL.
no
please read the EOL message we took a lot of discussion to define for
Maven
3.0.x:
"Maven 3.0 has now reached its end of life. New plugin releases will
require
Maven 3.1 or later."
yes, the definition of what "EOL" and "supported" mean for a project like
ours
is not so easy: finding the right message is not easy
But I don't think that this is the full truth.
What we actually do is to compile against a specific Maven version, but
only test latest. I don't expect that everyone tests with 3.1.x, 3.2.x
and so it -- I don't and will not.
1. our CI tests quite a good number of situations: we don't expect manual test
from every committer
2. even if we don't fully test every detailed situation, we defined our minimum
required Maven version to show that we support these situation
3. if you go that route, please define what support means given our OSS nature
How can we support a version if we even don't have it on CI which tests?
This looks like deception, no? The first we ask when I plugin issue
arrives is to upgrade Maven, no?
I totally agree, that we only test 3.8.x+. Everything else is best effort.
