The archetype is a template which either does explicitly configure maven-compiler-plugin with a Java version. Or if not, the default (for the used version of maven-compiler-plugin) value is used.
In either case, you can after the Maven project has been generated change the Java version to a version of your choice. To have Eclipse pick up the change I think you need to right click on the project and select Maven->Update project. /Anders On Tue, Sep 11, 2018 at 1:36 PM Bruce Wen <crest....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > It is configured on the maven-compiler-plugin [1]. > > > Do you mean archetype depends on maven-compiler-plugin?
