Arend v. Reinersdorff updated MCOMPILER-430:
--------------------------------------------
Description:
Setting the Java version is documented here:
[https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html]
Proposal for improvement:
# Make this documentation more prominent. This should be documented on the
"Usage" page.
In my experience, the Java version is set in every Maven project. Because the
default version of 1.6 is quite old and the default version is also not obvious.
# In the documentation, make -release as the preferred way to set the Java
version >= 9. Keep the documentation of -source/-target for Java version <= 8
