Yes, it was just a faute of typing, the executable argument must be <executable>C:\jdk1.2.2\bin\javac</executable> By the way, even manven 2 requires java 1.4, in the official doc say that "You can use any JDK to compile, not only the one used to run Maven." and there's a parameter: "compilerArgument" which is "Unformatted argument string to be passed to the compiler if fork is set to true. This is because the list of valid arguments passed to a Java compiler varies based on the compiler version."
I think that Maven 2 tries to use all the arguments of its jdk by defaut even when I want to use an external jdk.
