+* Usage on JDK 8 - automatic detection
+
+ Since version <<<3.13.0>>> of the Compiler Plugin and default <<<javac>>>
compilerId you can skip special profile.
+ The <<<--release>>> option will be automatically used according to JDK used
for compilation.
Review Comment:
```suggestion
The <<<release>>> parameter will only be effective for Java 9 or above,
otherwise the <<<source>>> and <<<target>>> will be passed to the compiler.
