Description
See this mail thread for background:
To prevent developers (especially, release managers) from using too old java versions, we could (should?) elaborate the minimum required java versions for the build.
Possible questions in my mind:
- should we stop the build with an error or emit a warning and continue?
- do minor versions depend on the vendor? if yes, should we also specify the vendor?
- how do we determine/maintain the minimum version?
