For me the default should always match the target version (no matter which JDK you are building with)! Some plugins require newer Java build versions than the project. I frequently find myself in a situation where my project targets 8, but the build quality Maven plugins require 11. Also, as I've pointed out in other places, JDK 11 actually enforces the JLS for Java 8 more strictly than JDK 8 does. So, even if you're targeting 8, you're better off building with 11 using the release flag set to 8, if you want a strictly compliant Java 8 application that is maximally portable (OpenJDK 8 and Oracle JDK 8 both let some internal APIs leak into the compile time classpath that are in violation of the JLS 8 spec). -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
