Surely the change here is ONLY with the maven-compiler-plugin and
affects what it puts as the --source and --target arguments to javac
when compiler - I don't see why that should affect core?
I admit I'm not really sure how m-c-p relates down into plexus-compiler
and the compiler infrastructure, is javac always run in the same JVM as
the one maven runs under?
Personally - even if one is -targetting- an older JVM they should at
least HAVE the new JVM - runs much faster IMHO.

If you have a JRE7 VM available, then sure. If JRE7 is not available for
your platform, then it must remain possible to run Maven with an older JRE,
or else no more Maven for you. I do not know enough about Maven internals
to know if it would be feasible to increase the default source/target
version to1.7 while keeping Maven core itself compatible with1.5, though.
From Jochen& Stephen's exchange, it sounds like maybe not. If so, then my
vote is for Maven core to remain compatible with Java1.5, as Stephen
suggested.
