Re: Updating the default versions for maven-compiler-plugin

since it's a good practice to define java version explicitely, to avoid any misunderstanding, I'm not sure changing default value is really something important: what's important it to know that it costs only 2 properties (and eventually merge them) notice that if we change default value, I want

Just to clarify, it's Oracle's JDK 1.7 that is EOL. IBM still supports their Java 6 and 7 level JDKs. Moving to a 1.7 default is still ok I think. However, if we think that most people will still need to configure 1.8 (or 1.9 soon) I don't see the point of doing this as it does introduce a level o

+1 to at least 1.7 However, since 1.7 is EOL, I do think it also makes sense to default to 1.8, since it's the earliest version still getting public security updates, and therefore it's reasonable that most people should be using that version if possible. It's a trivial matter to configure the plu

I think it's actually a good idea to do something about that. Users who don't specify a source/target version would fall on their bottoms with a change to 1.7 as default as well. So why using 1.7 as a default, which is EOL (or at least nearly) anyway? Keeping the default on 1.5 might bite users a
