             Summary: Configure animal-sniffer-maven-plugin to fail when new unsupported JDK APIs are used
                 Key: ACCUMULO-4383
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4383
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: build
            Reporter: Josh Elser
            Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
             Fix For: 1.6.6, 1.7.3, 1.8.1


Benson gave us a great little pointer to http://www.mojohaus.org/animal-sniffer/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin/

We should configure this plugin to run during our build to catch when we accidentally use JDK APIs which only exist in a newer version of Java than what we target for a specific release line.

For example, mid-2016, we have problems with JDK8 APIs slipping into release lines which still need to support JDK7. We had a similar problem when switching from JDK6 to JDK7.
