Is it possible to specify in a POM the minimum version of Maven required to build the project?
We've been wasting lots of time chasing issues from people building our project due to bugs in older versions of Maven that cause large artifacts (>2GB) to be silently truncated. These tend to cause, unsurprisingly, strange and broken behavior in the final product.
Yes, we have stated that 3.2.5 is the minimum version we intend to support, but I'm wondering: Is there a way to ask Maven to bail if the version is less than that? I reckon I can easily write a plugin to do this, but that seems overkill. So, I was hoping there is a simpler way.
