Morning everyone,
first I would like to thank everybody who participated in the vote [*1]
about lifting the required Java version to 21 for Maven 4.0.0.
The vote has ended with the following votes:
--------------
Binding votes:
+1: Sylwester Lachiewicz, Karl Heinz Marbaise, Tamás Cservenák, Benjamin
Marwell, Arnaud Héritier, Tibor Digaňa
-1: Michael Osipov, Maarten Mulders, Olivier Lamy, Slawomir Jaranowski,
Hervé Boutemy
Non-binding votes:
+1: Gary Gregory, Mateusz Gajewski, Mantas Gridinas, Rodrigo Bourbon,
Willker Gomes, Hans Aikema, Martin Desruisseaux, Torsten Heit, Sandra
Parsick, Dawid Law, Philipp Picej, John Neffenger, Jeremy Landis, Daniel
B. Widdis, Michael Bien, Gregorz Grzybek, Kévin Buntrock, Jorge
Solorzano, Mark Derricutt, Matthias Bünger, Basil Crow, Romain
Manni-Bucau, Thomas Sundberg, Anders Hammar, Piotr P. Karwasz, Niels
Basjes, Enrico Olivelli
-1: Elliotte Rusty Harold
--------------
5 out of 11 binding votes are -1 with valid arguments, including that
there is no actual need to upgrade, that (it's too late, as ) we are
already in RC phase, and that it might put on new constraints to users.
The vote was (in line to the vote about lifting Maven 4 to Java 17) a
"procedural majority vote", meaing a simple majority of binding votes
would be enough to considered it to be passed. But due the high number
of negative votes and brought up arguments, I don't think we should
ignore them but take them into consideration for the benefit of the
Maven community. Therefore I call the vote to be non successful. We can
reevaluate in the future, including having a closer look at / discussion
about the benefits and constraints of raising the Java version.
Wish you a happy sunday!
Matthias
