NOTE: This is not a duplicate of the question I have already linked too...I am asking a different question about whether the plugin is required for any IDE.

Looking at this answer here: Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java project facet, it mentions that I can add the following properties:

<properties>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.6</maven.compiler.target>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.6</maven.compiler.source>
</properties>

and the IDE will select the correct version of JDK.

Are these properties specific to the m2e plugin or Eclipse or are they properties that maven itself searches for? What I am asking is, do I need the maven-compiler-plugin referenced?

    Not sure why there is any downvotes...I've read the linked question again and cannot find the answer to my question. – Cheetah Aug 01 '14 at 15:32
