>                 Key: MRESOLVER-359
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRESOLVER-359
>             Project: Maven Resolver
>          Issue Type: Task
>            Reporter: Tamas Cservenak
>            Assignee: Tamas Cservenak
>            Priority: Major
>             Fix For: 1.9.10

> Current state of affairs:
>  * property minimalMavenBuildVersion (passed to requireMavenVersion enforcer rule) set in resolver TLP contains "3.8.4", that according to enforcer "Version Range Specification" means "3.8.4 or later but 3.8.4 is RECOMMENDED". This is NOT what we mean.
>  * property minimalJavaBuildVersion (passed to requireJavaVersion enforcer rule) inherited from parent contains "1.8" which again, is NOT what we mean, as we know build will not work on some obsolete Java 8 versions (ie. Java8u172 from 2018)
> Fixes:
>  * make minimalMavenBuildVersion be "[3.8.4,)", we mean "recent" or maybe "maintained" Maven version.
>  * make minimalJavaBuildVersion be "[1.8.0-371,)" we mean "recent" Java 8.
> Questions:
>  * why "[1.8.0-371,)"? I think as in this moment use of latest Java 8 works, and then even after a year later (when possibly new Java 8 versions may be released), it is expected that u371 and later ones will still work.
