[jira] Commented: (MNG-4143) Update Java requirement to 1.5

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=174330#action_174330 ] 

John Casey commented on MNG-4143:
---------------------------------

Investigating going back to 1.4 source compat, and simply catching NoClassDefFoundError for javax.xml.xpath.* classes, then printing a large warning to the user to encourage JDK 1.5+ usage.

>             Project: Maven 2
>          Issue Type: Task
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.0

> note that the required Java version for 2.1.1 has been upgraded to 1.5.
> JDK 1.4 will no longer be supported to _execute_ Maven. We'll need to document how to configure toolchains, etc. to support _building_ 1.4 projects using a 1.4 JDK (to avoid api incompatibilities with 1.5).
