Fred Bricon commented on MCOMPILER-335:
---------------------------------------
That sounds like a bad idea to me. Build results will be unpredictable,
depending on where they will run (different results on different jdks), IDEs
will generate random JDK configurations. Gradle does the same thing and that
makes me cringe for the exact same reasons
But I like the idea of displaying a warning if no user value is defined,
regardless of whether the plugin has a built-in default value or relies on the
current environment
> Update default source/target
> ----------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-335
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-335
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Reporter: Fred Bricon
> Priority: Major
>
> default source/target have been set to 1.5 in 2010 (MCOMPILER-80). I think
> it's about time to update the default.
> 1.8 would be my preference, as 9 /10 would probably be a tad too ambitious.
> But, since Maven requires at least Java 1.7 to run, 1.7 is probably the
> safest option.
