title: Maven update resets Java version
body: <p>Everytime I modify the dependencies inside the <code>pom.xml</code> file in my IntelliJ Maven project, the Java version is set to <code>1.5</code> and I have to receonfigure my project.</p>
  
  <p>The following settings are modified by Maven:</p>
  
  <p><code>Settings</code> | <code>Compiler</code> | <code>Java Compiler</code> -> <code>Target bytecode version</code></p>

  <p>And  <code>Project Settings</code> | <code>Modules</code> -> <code>Language Level</code></p>

  <p>Why is this happening and what do I have to do, so that maven doesn't vandalise my settings?</p>
