    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-335?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16490800#comment-16490800 ] 

Keith Hawkins commented on MCOMPILER-335:
-----------------------------------------

+1 for compiling with Java 1.7 or 1.8 as default

I was about to open a request for same.

Hope this can be targeted for next plugin release.

> default source/target have been set to 1.5 in 2010 (MCOMPILER-80). I think it's about time to update the default.
> 1.8 would be my preference, as 9 /10 would probably be a tad too ambitious.
> But, since Maven requires at least Java 1.7 to run, 1.7 is probably the safest option.
