Docs Text:
Quickstart supports java 9+ and junit 5. To specify the java version and junit version set the properties javaCompilerVersion (default = 1.7) and junitVersion (default = 4.13.1) respectively.

Description

Quickstart archetype is outdated due to the support for java versions below 9 and junit 4.

The changes needs to be made backwards compatible in order to avoid breaking changes for legacy projects.

For the support of java 9+ the java version tag must change from:

<!-- example for java 8 and below -->
 <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>

to:

<!-- example with java 11 -->
<maven.compiler.release>11</maven.compiler.release>

For junit 5 support it is needed to add junit-jupiter-api and the vintage plugin, to add support for large older projects (with old junit tests in it).

Example for dependencies for junit 5 it will look like:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit-jupiter-api</artifactId>
      <version>5.2.2</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.junit.jupiter</groupId>
      <artifactId>junit-jupiter-engine</artifactId>
      <version>5.2.2</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>
