Require Java Version

   This rule enforces certain Java JDK versions. The rule uses the {{{versionRanges.html}Enforcer version range syntax}} to define allowed versions.

   The following parameters are supported by this rule:
   
   * {{{../apidocs/org/apache/maven/plugin/enforcer/AbstractVersionEnforcer.html#version}version}} - {{{versionRanges.html}range}} of allowed JDKs.
   
   []

   The JDK version is retrieved and the following processing occurs before being checked:
   
  [[1]] Drop all non-numeric characters preceeding the first number. (build 1.5.0_07-b03 becomes 1.5.0_07-b03)
  
  [[2]] Replace all '_' and '-' with '.' (1.5.0_07-b03 becomes 1.5.0.07.b03)
  
  [[3]] Remove all non digit characters "[^0-9] and convert each section using Integer.parseInt() (1.5.0_07-b03 becomes 1.5.0.7.3)
  
  [[3]] Split the string on '.' and take the first 3 sections, separated by '.' and add '-' followed by the forth section (1.5.0.7.3 becomes 1.5.0-7)
  
  []
   
   This preprocessing normalizes various JDK version strings into a standard x.y.z-b version number. Your required range should therefore use the x.y.z-b format for comparison. 
   There is an easy way to see how your current JDK string will be normalized:
     
+---+
   mvn enforcer:display-info
   ...
   [enforcer:display-info]
       Maven Version: 2.0.6
       JDK Version: 1.5.0_11 normalized as: 1.5.0-11
       OS Info: Arch: x86 Family: windows Name: windows xp Version: 5.1
