# Class Version Patcher
This plugin allows you to utilize all the new language features of Java while targeting an older version's bytecode.
## Usage - Maven
To integrate into your project:
1. Install the plugin locally
2. Add the plugin to your project
- Update the scope of any dependency that is future-versioned to `provided`
3. Run `compile` on your project to generate the modified classes in the `%PROJECT%/target/classes` directory
4. Run any phase you like, such as `test` _(They should now see the modified classes)_
### Installing the plugin locally
```
git clone https://github.com/Col-E/Class-Version-Patcher.git
cd Maven-Class-Patcher
mvn install
```
### Using the plugin in your `pom.xml`
```xml
software.coley
class-version-patcher-maven
2.1.0
8
group_id:artifact_id
org.jgroups:jgroups
patch-compiled
patch-dependencies
patch-postprocess
```
## Usage - Gradle
> NOTE: The gradle plugin is not yet developed, however you can add the `core` module of this project as a dependency to your buildscript.
> From there, you can invoke `software.coley.versionpatcher.VersionPatcher` as you see fit.
## This doesn't properly downgrade Java X's "xyz-feature" to Java Y's version!
Please open an issue with an example of how to replicate your problem.
For example:
- Providing a class file
- Listing a [maven dependency](https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.jgroups/jgroups/5.1.2.Final)
- Listing an [open source project](https://github.com/belaban/JGroups)
