java 11 should be default

Research direction

Inspect the generated Maven compiler plugin configuration in the archetype output, focusing on the source and target values shown in the issue. Confirm the project's supported Java versions and update the default to Java 11 if appropriate; done means generated projects use Java 11 for both settings and their existing build checks pass.
