JDK Version for new project generated by mvn archetype:generate

[Bruce Wen]

Hi,

I used Maven 3.3.1. I created a new project with below commands:

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=my.company.project -DartifactId=my-project
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

Then, I imported the generated project into eclipse and found it uses J2SE
-1.5.

My question:
How is J2SE-1.5 decided?
Can we specify JDK version for new project?

Thanks!
