> I have this absolute minimal pom:

>   <artifactId>minimal</artifactId>
>   <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>

> {code}
> executing this with maven fails with:
> {code:java}
> [ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : 
> [INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
> [ERROR] Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
> [ERROR] Target option 5 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.
> {code}
> As I have configured nothing, as a user I would expect that the defaults are something that at least can work and do not fail, or gives a strong indication that some kind of configuration is required but missing. In this case it would even be appropriate to instead have an error to issue a warning that level 7 is used instead.
