------------------------------------

             Summary: Add java prerequisites for packaging "maven-plugin"
                 Key: MNG-7388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7388
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Konrad Windszus


Currently only the minimum Maven version can be explicitly required for a Maven plugin via {{prerequisites->maven}}. The same should be possible for the Java version, as Maven plugins compiled for Java 11 won't run on Java 8 and currently only emit the nasty "UnsupportedClassVersion" errors.

The plugin reporting plugin uses some heuristics in https://github.com/apache/maven-plugin-tools/blob/c6d0808b92423b969f8d2aac500b7263399d0373/maven-plugin-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/plugin/PluginReport.java#L739, but this is only considered for the plugin documentation but never at run time.

This requires a Maven model change though, and therefore can only end up in Maven 5.
