-------------------------------------
    Priority: Minor  (was: Major)

> RequireJavaVersion: Support new Java 9 versioning schema even for older Java versions

>                 Key: MENFORCER-288
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MENFORCER-288
>             Project: Maven Enforcer Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Standard Rules
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-M1
>            Reporter: Konrad Windszus
>            Priority: Minor
>          Time Spent: 20m
>  Remaining Estimate: 0h

> Although with MENFORCER-274 it is now possible to specify 
> {code}
>                 <requireJavaVersion>
>                   <version>9</version>
>                 </requireJavaVersion>
> {code}
> it is still not possible to refer to older java versions without the leadering {{1.}}.
> So e.g. this one does not work
> {code}
>                 <requireJavaVersion>
>                   <version>6</version>
>                 </requireJavaVersion>
> {code}
> This would be very handy as with JDK 9 you specify e.g. release only without the preceeding {{1.}} (compare with https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/tools/javac.htm#GUID-AEEC9F07-CB49-4E96-8BC7-BCC2C7F725C9__GUID-D343F6B4-3FDD-43A8-AD24-43DD70214471). As it is very common to reuse the same Maven property value for enforcing the minimum java version with the {{maven-enforcer-plugin}} as well as for specifying the release/source/target of the {{maven-compiler-plugin}} it would be nice, if both support the same version range.
> To still be backwards compatible I would suggest that in case of 6,7,8 given as a value, the {{1.}} is implicitly prepended by the {{maven-enforcer-plugin}}.
