You can do that in maven on a plugin basis.
http://maven.apache.org/general.html
...
<build>
...
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
...
</build>

Subject: Re: Java 5/6 compatible builds
That's my general understanding from Paul. It allows us (though I don't
quite understand all the Maven juju) to write code and include dependencies
against 1.6, while falling back to 1.5 if needed.
One motivating use case for this in the immediate term is my and Michael's
reintroduction of Closure Compiler into the JS serving pipeline. It is
written against 1.6. My hope w/ these changes is to allow 1.6 users to get
the full Closure treatment, while falling back to a default (ie. using the
build-time JS YUICompressor).
@Paul, does this sound right? If so, can you give a brief primer on how
this
stuff works and what's required of both implementors and users?
