      Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
    Resolution: Not A Bug

Please don't misuse the issue tracker for questions but rather post to the 
[user mailing list|http://maven.apache.org/mail-lists.html].

bq. 1. which javac it points to ? is it the javac under JAVA_HOME/bin ?
Unless you configured the plugin to use a specific JDK as described in the 
example [Compiling Sources Using A Different 
JDK|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/compile-using-different-jdk.html],
 the plugin uses the javac from the JDK used to run Maven.

To verify the command line Maven uses to invoke javac, you just need to enable 
Maven's debug logging by passing the {{-X}} on the command line.

2. If yes, since we use the jdk1.5 already, why we still need to define the
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
{quote}
Because the Maven Compiler Plugin has built-in default values for these 
settings, c.f the first paragraph of the [plugin index 
page|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/].


> is compiler correct ?  is jdk path correct?  how to verify ?
