• JENKINS-68568: Require Java 11 or newer (#478) @basil

This release of the plugin build toolchain requires Java 11 or newer and Jenkins 2.361 or newer. Update jenkins.version in pom.xml to 2.361 or newer as described in the developer documentation, and adjust your Jenkinsfile to remove any Java 8 configurations. Note that in the absence of an explicit set of configurations, the default set of configurations still includes Java 8. The recommended set of configurations can be found in the archetype. Also note that pending JENKINS-46795 any changes to a repository's Jenkinsfile require write access to take effect in the PR build.

If you neglect to update jenkins.version to 2.361 or later, you will receive the following error:

This version of maven-hpi-plugin requires Jenkins 2.361 or later.

If you neglect to adjust your Jenkinsfile to remove any Java 8 configurations (or try to build locally with Java 8), you will receive a low-level class version error.

🚨 Removed

• Remove Animal Sniffer (#478) @basil

As part of the transition to Java 11, Animal Sniffer has been removed from the plugin parent POM. If you require the use of Animal Sniffer, ensure that you include it in your own POM.
