             Summary: Allow a Maven plugin to require a Maven version through its plugin descriptor
                 Key: MNG-7570
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-7570
             Project: Maven
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Konrad Windszus
            Assignee: Konrad Windszus


Currently a Maven plugin can only require a minimum Maven version via pom's prerequisites (https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Prerequisites). There is currently no means to require a minimum Java version.
I would suggest to slightly expand the plugin descriptor to include a minimumJavaVersion element there as well and evaluate that before executing a plugin goal and emit a good error message. The default Java version could be determined by the target class file version.
