[jira] [Commented] (ARROW-16412) [Java][Docs] Provide guidance on supported Java versions in README
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-16412?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17529937#comment-17529937 ]
David Li commented on ARROW-16412:
----------------------------------
Not sure what we can do here to improve the Maven errors, but we should probably just remove the contents of that readme and point to the documentation instead, so we can focus on improving one thing.

> It's worth noting that the error messages are opaque - there's no specific indication that the problem is a version incompatibility. While there is a reference to supported Java versions in the [installation page|https://arrow.apache.org/docs/dev/java/install.html] of the documentation, it's easy enough for that to be missed in favor of the README. It could be useful to also codify supported versions through [maven enforcement|https://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/requireJavaVersion.html], supplying a less opaque error message when an incompatible Java version is used..
