Minimum Maven Version
Even though this plugin tries to be compatible with every Maven version there are some known limitations with specific versions. Here is a list that tries to outline the current state of the art:
| Plugin Version | Minimal Required Maven version |
|---|---|
| 2.1.X | Maven 2.2.1 up to v2.1.13; Maven 3.1.1 for any later 2.1.X |
| 2.2.X | Maven 3.1.1 up to v2.2.3; Maven 3.0 for any later 2.2.X |
| 3.X.X | Maven 3.0 |
| 4.X.X | Maven 3.0 |
| 5.X.X | Maven 3.1.0-alpha-1 |
| 6.X.X | Maven 3.1.0-alpha-1 |
| 7.X.X | Maven 3.2.5 |
| 8.X.X | Maven 3.2.5 |
| 9.X.X | Maven 3.6.3 |
| 10.X.X | Maven 3.9.0 |
Flipping the table to maven: Please note that in theory maven 4.X should support all maven 3 plugins. The plugin was first shipped with maven 3 support in version v2.1.14 (requiring maven version 3.1.1). Hence the v2.1.14 should be the first supported version. Only starting with 6.X.X this plugin was actually tested with 4.0.0-alpha-5, but some releases might not work since Maven 4 announced that plugins require Maven 3.2.5 or later which would only be the case for plugin versions 7.0.0 or later.
| Maven Version | Plugin Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Maven 3.X | any | The plugin requires at least a maven 3.1.0-alpha-1 |
| Maven 4.X | from v2.1.14 |
