Jasper, I also experience similar issues, it comes down to what version of java you have installed, what version of the plugin you use and what their respective defaults are. To avoid this I would explicitly state version's of plugins and also a few other useful properties. I always but at the least the following in every new project pom;
<project ... [...] <build> [...] <pluginManagement> [...] <plugins> [...] <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.5.1</version> </plugin> [...] </plugins> [...] </pluginManagement> [...] </build> [...] <properties> [...] <project.custom.encoding>UTF-8</project.custom.encoding> <project.custom.java.version>1.6</project.custom.java.version> <maven.compiler.source>${project.custom.java.version}</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>${project.custom.java.version}</maven.compiler.target> <project.build.sourceEncoding>${project.custom.encoding}</project.build.sourceEncoding> <project.build.outputEncoding>${project.custom.encoding}</project.build.outputEncoding> <project.reporting.outputEncoding>${project.custom.encoding}</project.reporting.outputEncoding> [...] </properties> </project> John On 16 November 2012 09:50, Olivier Lamy <ol...@apache.org> wrote: > Hi, > Which maven-compiler-plugin version are you using ? > Does your colleague set JAVA_HOME env var on windows ? > > 2012/11/16 Jasper Floor <j.fl...@onehippo.com>: >> Hi, >> >> For some reason mvn is compiling using java 1.3.
