Java 8 Maven project ZenWave360 Plugin usage

[saturna]

I have a project that still uses Java 8 and Maven. Is there any recommended way I could still use the AsyncAPI2Pojo Maven plugin with my project within Maven given that the Plugin targets Java 17 runtime?

Let's see,

• the plugin runs on java 17, and it does not compile with java 8
• the code the plugin generates should compile and run fine in java 8
• you can run the plugin through maven or a cli with jbang

So I guess your best option would be to generate your POJOS/DTOS on a separate project...

• you can use a maven project running on jdk 17 but targeting java 8 and then import the dependency
• using jbang/cli on a pipeline may also be an option but I think would be more complex
