Is it time to change the defaults for source and target?

[Russell Gold]

Currently, the maven-compiler-plugin defaults to 1.5 for the values of “source” 
and “target.” But Java 1.5 was end-of-lifed some time ago, and Maven doesn’t 
even run with lower than 1.6. These settings are incompatible with Java 9. 
Would it not make sense now to change those defaults to at least 1.6, if not 
1.7?
