Following this checklist to help us incorporate your
contribution quickly and easily:
- [x] Make sure there is a [JIRA
issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MARCHETYPES-81) filed
for the change (usually before you start working on it). Trivial
changes like typos do not
require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this
issue, without
pulling in other changes.
- [x] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line
and body.
- [x] Format the pull request title like `[MARCHETYPES-XXX] SUMMARY`, where
you replace `MARCHETYPES-XXX`
and `SUMMARY` with the appropriate JIRA issue. Best practice is to
use the JIRA issue
title in the pull request title and in the first line of the commit
message.
- [x] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to
understand what the pull request does, how, and why.
- [x] Run `mvn clean verify` to make sure basic checks pass. A more
thorough check will
be performed on your pull request automatically.
If your pull request is about ~20 lines of code you don't need to sign an

> Project: Maven Archetype Bundles
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Reporter: Herve Boutemy
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.5
>
>
> target bytecode is configured as 1.x because it is an habit from old times
> with JDK 1.4
> since JDK 5, javac supports 5 as an alias for 1.5: this is the same for 6, 7
> and 8
> and since 9, only 9 exists, not even 1.9
> configuring 8 instead of 1.8 gives better habit for nowadays
