Description

I made the mistake of using my default java compiler (which apparently is 17) to build hive, and it failed. If hive only supports a certain version (or ranges of versions) of java, it would be incredibly helpful if maven reported this eagerly.

This is easily achievable using the maven enforcer system (a number of enforcers are already deployed in the top level pom):
