[jira] [Commented] (AVRO-2860) More Closely Adhere to ASF Parent POM

["Sean Busbey (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2860?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17126323#comment-17126323 ] 

Sean Busbey commented on AVRO-2860:
-----------------------------------

It is not accurate to say jdk8 is EOL. Both the openjdk 7 updates and the openjdk 8 updates projects are still active and there are options to purchase commercial support for both jdks still.

>             Project: Apache Avro

> So, I see that the project currently inherits from:
> {code:xml}
>  <parent>
>     <groupId>org.apache</groupId>
>     <artifactId>apache</artifactId>
>     <version>23</version>
>   </parent>
> {code}
> That's great.
> However, there are quite a few places where the values from this parent POM are being overrided and I'm not quite sure why.  The Avro project should be pretty conservative here and be sticking as closely as possible to the parent POM in the same spirit that Avro is build with Java 1.8 (which is EOL).
> I propose reverting some plugin versions so that the project more closely aligns with the POM and then the project need only stay in sync with the parent POM releases and not each plugin individually.
