Franz - Thanks for the response. I understand the philosophy now.
Problem solved!

Good day to you, Oliver,
Best if you would create a parent pom for your projects. Then configure here
your common configurations to be used through out your projects.
In this way, your builds would still be reproduce-able. Note that the
settings.xml does not get deployed. Thus, if somebody would build your
project in their machine, there is a chance that it would fail since the
configurations are not known in his machine.
An example of this parent pom is a Company POM. A Company POM is a pom
inherited by maven projects of that project. In this way, that company's
projects inherits configurations that the company requires.
Cheers,
Franz

Thanks Randall - all I could find was settings dealing with activation
of profiles depending on the JDK version, not the actual setting of the
JDK version.
I did try the following in settings.xml to set the plug-in variable
directly, but it didn't work (and it was just a guess):
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>java1.5-default-profile</id>
<properties>
<maven.compile.source>1.5</maven.compile.source>
<maven.compile.target>1.5</maven.compile.target>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>java1.5-default-profile</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>

Oliver,
Look at the profiles configuration in the settings.xml, I
believe there is a place there to specify the "overall" Java version to
use.

Subject: Java 1.5 compilation setting in settings.xml?
Hello -
I'm wondering if there is a way to set the maven compiler plugin
defaults from the settings.xml file instead of the POM file?
Basically, I'm trying to make Java 1.5 the default instead of 1.4,
without having to add plug-in configuration info to each one of my POM
files.
I know there must be a way, and I searched the FAQ and the online book,
but I couldn't find the magic words!
