[jira] [Commented] (MCOMPILER-404) Update default source/target from 1.6 to 1.7

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-404?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16985884#comment-16985884 ] 

Michael Osipov commented on MCOMPILER-404:
------------------------------------------

You can always use Java 11, I consider

bq. Otherwise compiling sources with Maven on Java 12+ will lead to errors in case no explicit source/target/release is set.

to be a weak argument because this problem will reoccur with every new major release.

> Similar to what was done in MCOMPILER-335 the default should now be 1.7, as that is the oldest version being supported by javac in Java 12 and Java 13 (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/12/tools/javac.html#GUID-AEEC9F07-CB49-4E96-8BC7-BCC2C7F725C9__GUID-D343F6B4-3FDD-43A8-AD24-43DD70214471).
