## 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                         |

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 |                                                    |


## Plugin compatibility with EOL Maven version
End of life (EOL) Maven versions are no longer supported by Maven, nor this plugin.
The following information is made available for reference.

Note:
As an example -- this table should be read as: For `Maven 3.1.0` `any` Plugin Version should work, besides the ones listed in the `Notes` have the limitations listed.
