Thank you, both - will try and let you know. I was hoping there was a way to compile the EJB in 1.5 but fork the process to compile the client with a different JDK (1.4) within the generateClient portion of the EJB plugin (vs. a separate custom module for the EJB client), though.

Any thoughts? I assume you've configured the compiler plugin to target 1.5 at the top level of your project [1], so (as Tim mentioned) you can override the configuration to target 1.4 in the sub-module. Something that Jakarta Commons does (with Maven 1) is add "X-Compile-Target: 1.4" to the manifest, to reassure people since it will otherwise just say "Build-Jdk: 1.5.0_06". I haven't figured out how to do this with m2 yet.
