[jira] [Commented] (MCOMPILER-376) Change default source/target to
1.7 (new minimum for JDK 12)
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-376?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17307821#comment-17307821 ]
Fred Bricon commented on MCOMPILER-376:
---------------------------------------
Definitely is a duplicate of MCOMPILER-404.
However, setting 1.7 as the default value is complete nonsense. As an IDE guy, I can tell you *no one* creates Java 1.7 projects anymore. And for people who still use it, they already configured their m-c-p accordingly. So this 1.7 change helps literally nobody.
The _sensible default_ (as in the Maven way) should at the very least be 1.8. (11 is still way too controversial).
