[jira] Commented: (MNG-2706) Add JDK version to

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2706?page=comments#action_83041 ] 
            
Steve Loughran commented on MNG-2706:
-------------------------------------


Its very non-portable across JVM implementations to do this, as often the OSS impls pull forward library artifacts into JVM versions, at other times they leave them out.

Certainly a language level makes a good declaration, but as java6 uses the java5 language, really you should be specifying a dependency on the java6 libraries as another JAR dependency

> Add JDK version to <prerequisites>

> Currently the only prerequsite one can specify is <maven/> according to http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.4/maven-model/maven.html#class_prerequisites
> It would be nice to be able to say that a project requires a certain version of JDK, like, say, 1.5 or 1.6.
