Description

If any module does not override the source and target version defined by maven compiler plugin, it seems to default to Java 7 since it inherits it from the Apache parent pom.

 

For example, looking at the effective pom for camel-kafka we can see that:

 

<maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>

This is not a problem in this case, because its hierarchy does override the source and target options at the camel-parent. However, this may be confusing when analyzing the effective pom (or problematic if, somehow, the maven compiler plugin options are overridden).
