Yes we are agree but I really dislike this feature which is trying magically to do a fix. In the latest version of the plugin I tried to make visible the warning when it occurs. Building with with a JDK 8 and target/sources configured in java 7 is far from beeing perfect. But like I said I'm really less annoyed by the maven job breakage than by the deployment pre-requisite change which occurs in a minor release. But like Christopher said, it was always like this and we aren't following semver at all. It's up to the users to correctly read in details our release notes to evaluate the risk in each upgrade
