title: Set default java compliance level for Maven projects in Eclipse
body: <p>The default compliance level for Maven is 1.5 and every time that I update a maven project in Eclipse it sets back the compliance level from 1.6 to 1.5 which is really annoying for me.</p>
  
  <p>I know that I can set the target to 1.6 in the POM file but the problem is that I cannot set this in the parent POM and expect the children to inherit it. So I have to do it for every single Maven module. How can I set it in my Maven project or in the whole eclipse once for a "lifetime" without modifying every single Maven module!?</p>
