actually the parent _does not have to be in the parent directory_

in fact a number of people specifically recommend having the parent in a different directory entirely

But that is not much different from having plugin configuration in the
project file.
Besides, if I use parent pom file, don't I need to have physically all
children projects in subdirectories of the parent project? If that is the
case, than this is not going to work for me, because I am trying to
establish common environment for a development team that may work on
unrelated projects.

As far as I know, it is impossible to configure a plugin in settings.xml.

Wouldn't be nice if the plugin were capable to pickup the compiler version
based on e.g. JAVA_HOME variable?

Have all your projects with a common parent.

In the common parent add a pluginManagement section that defines the
defaults for the compiler plugin.

I know that current default for maven-compiler-plugin is java 1.3 and
that
I
can override it in pom.xml file by adding source and target attributes to
the plugin configuration.
However I would prefer to override the default compiler version
permanently
without having to include the plugin in pom.xml.
I don't see anything in the settings.xml that would allow me to do it. Is
that possible and if yes, can someone suggest how to do it?
