[jira] [Commented] (MDEP-521) Unpack goal fails in java versions earlier than 7

["Guillaume Boué (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-521?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15576222#comment-15576222 ] 

Guillaume Boué commented on MDEP-521:
-------------------------------------

I made a test with JDK 1.6.0_45, {{maven-dependency-plugin}} 2.10 and Maven 3.0.5. I couldn't reproduce any issue. Would it be possible to add a full stacktrace or a sample project showing the faulty behaviour?

> When using the unpack goal with Java 1.5 or 1.6, the following error message will appear:
> {{\[ERROR\] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:unpack (unpack) on project ID-JRE_8.0: Execution unpack of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:unpack failed: An API incompatibility was encountered while executing org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-dependency-plugin:2.10:unpack: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: java.io.File.toPath()Ljava/nio/file/Path;}}
> This is obviously calling a method introduced in Java 7. This contradicts the about page\[1\] that indicates that JDK 1.5 is the minimum required.
> This bug does not appear until version 2.10. Version 2.9 works fine.
