+1 to at least 1.7 However, since 1.7 is EOL, I do think it also makes sense to default to 1.8, since it's the earliest version still getting public security updates, and therefore it's reasonable that most people should be using that version if possible. It's a trivial matter to configure the plugin for an earlier version if the software needs to be built to support a system that's not updated. These systems can (and probably already are) using older versions of this plugin anyway, so changing the default in newer versions isn't likely to affect them.
But, at the very least, 1.7 is a big +1, incremental improvement to the default. -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 2:04 PM, Gary Gregory <garydgreg...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 for 1.7. > > Gary > > On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 4:56 AM, Attila-Mihály Balázs <dify....@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> Given that we're almost in 2015, what do people think about updating the >> default source / target for maven-compiler-plugin to 1.8?
