Resolution: Duplicate
> Improve documentation for setting the Java version
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-430
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-430
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Arend v. Reinersdorff
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
>
> Setting the Java version is documented here:
>
> [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html]
> Proposal for improvement:
> # Make this documentation more prominent. This should be documented on the
> "Usage" page.
> In my experience, the Java version is set in every Maven project. Because
> the default version of 1.6 is quite old and the default version is also not
> obvious.
> # In the documentation, make -release as the preferred way to set the Java
> version >= 9. Keep the documentation of -source/-target for Java version <= 8
