Hudson commented on MPOM-44:
----------------------------
SUCCESS: Integrated in ASF Parent Pom #96 (See
[https://builds.apache.org/job/ASF%20Parent%20Pom/96/])
[MPOM-44] use maven.compiler.source/target standard properties to define
compiler version instead of direct plugin configuration: this will permit
override in child poms through these properties too (hboutemy:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/?view=rev&rev=1582484)

> Issue Type: Bug

>
> The compiler plugin by default picks up the source and target from the
> properties
> maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target.
> Unfortunately, the Apache POM uses the following fixed values to specify the
> version:
> {code}
> <build>
> <pluginManagement>
> <plugins>
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>2.5.1</version>
> <configuration>
> <source>1.4</source>
> <target>1.4</target>
> </configuration>
> {code}
> This means that child poms which use the properties expecting them to be
> honoured have to override the configuration as follows:
> {code}
> <plugin>
> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
> <configuration>
> <source>${maven.compile.source}</source>
> <target>${maven.compile.target}</target>
> </configuration>
> </plugin>
> {code}
> This is unnecessary and wrong.
> For compatibility, the Apache Pom does need to still specify the default
> source/target as 1.4 (the plugin default is 1.5), but it should do so by
> using the standard properties which can then be overridden.
> In fact, if the properties are defined, the compiler plugin config could be
> dropped, as it is the default behaviour.
