> I don't think it's very important to make the minimal Java version match the target version, except in JDK versions earlier than 9, I disagree as the target bytecode version is always (except when using toolchains) the lower bound for the build java version. Cross-compilation only works towards lower major version, but not towards higher major version. The release flag is already correctly considered in the parent POM (in a [dedicated Java9 profile](https://github.com/apache/maven-apache-parent/blob/ded34a863110021191af2db5b772b665a2789394/pom.xml#L530-L540)), so in case something does not work as expected here please raise a new issue @ctubbsii. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
