I keep running into problems switching my local jdk (ala setjdk) from

I though it would be nice if the build would fail early if I had the
wrong JDK configured. So, I wroke a require-java-version goal in a
new tools-maven-plugin (in Genesis), which allows the build to fail
early. It uses Mac OS X-style version suffix tokens (+ and *) to
allow selection.

I've set it up for GShell which needs 1.5, but I was wondering if we
should configure this goal in trunk and set it to 1.4* so that if you
are using 1.5 it will puke early with a meaningful error.
Seems like folks who build with 1.5 run into errors... so maybe its a
good thing to force 1.4?
Thoughts?

Why not just add the following to the POMs?
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.4</source>
<target>1.4</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
