title: default maven compiler setting
body: <p>Right now, I'm writing a small java application by my own, with few maven pom.xml files. I want to make all my maven packages to compile with jdk 1.6, and I can't find a good way to do it without manually setting it on every single POMs - I'm sick of copy-and-pasting</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.maven.plugins&lt;/groupId&gt;
  &lt;artifactId&gt;maven-compiler-plugin&lt;/artifactId&gt;
  &lt;configuration&gt;
   &lt;source&gt;1.6&lt;/source&gt;
   &lt;target&gt;1.6&lt;/target&gt;
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>in every single pom.xml file I generate.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a simpler way to resolve this issue?</p>
