That's unfortunate.

The Maven compiler plugin [1] uses maven.compiler.source, however for
some reason CP uses maven.compile.source.
[Maybe Maven1 used to use compile rather than compiler?]

So when using Commons Parent 24 (or before) one has to use "compile"
and if not, one has to use "compiler".

I guess we could fix that for CP25; however it would mean changing all
component POMs when upgrading.
Not a huge amount of work, and any component that failed to change the
property definition would likely fail to compile.
I'll raise a JIRA to keep it in mind.

Meanwhile I'll update the site.

24

We should probably fix the links so they point to the current released
POM rather than whatever is in trunk.
