Description

if JDK 11+ is used to compile, it's better to define maven.compiler.release instead of maven.compiler.source/target

we currently generate for Java 8, so we don't really know if the compiler used support release parameter

adding a comment is a good first step to help discovery, before benefiting from MARCHETYPES-70 when generating against newer JDK
