Also compare with [~rfscholte] statement from

> Key: MCOMPILER-404
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-404
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 3.8.1
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> Similar to what was done in MCOMPILER-335 the default should now be 1.7, as
> that is the oldest version being supported by javac in Java 12 and Java 13
> (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/12/tools/javac.html#GUID-AEEC9F07-CB49-4E96-8BC7-BCC2C7F725C9__GUID-D343F6B4-3FDD-43A8-AD24-43DD70214471).
> Otherwise compiling sources with Maven on Java 12+ will lead to errors in
> case no explicit source/target/release is set.
