[jira] [Created] (MCOMPILER-362) Change default source/target option to be a bit more modern

theminecoder created MCOMPILER-362:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Change default source/target option to be a bit more modern
                 Key: MCOMPILER-362
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-362
             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: theminecoder


With the impending release of Java 11, I think it's about time that we update the source/target compiler options to something that isn't (at the time of writing) 4 major versions behind.

With the amount of libraries that require at least Java 8 and Java 8 being the current LTS version, I would like to propose that we change the default to be at least a minimum of Java 8, with the option to change back to the older compiler versions like how we have to switch to Java 8 currently.
