Description

The minimal pom does not work for Java, because the minimal pom uses maven-compiler-plugin 3.1, and that uses java 1.5, which ... cannot be targeted by the minimal pom. Please update the super-pom for 3.6.3 to use a more recent maven-compiler plugin, at the very least, so users can follow your own documentation without error - the users who need that documentation are not going to have the experience to fix the problem.
