> Setting the Java version is documented here:
>  [https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html]
> Proposal for improvement:
>  # Make this documentation more prominent. This should be documented on the "Usage" page.
>  In my experience, the Java version is set in every Maven project. Because the default version of 1.6 is quite old and the default version is also not obvious.
>  # In the documentation, make -release as the preferred way to set the Java version >= 9. Keep the documentation of -source/-target for Java version <= 8
