I'm a new maven user starting the journey up the maven learning curve. I recall reading in the free Maven book that by default Maven sets itself to java 1.3. But I'm not sure if I'm recalling that correctly. If it's not 1.3 then it is certainly 1.4. It is definately not 1.5.

Hi everyone, Following the installation instructions for Maven, I set my JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to my Java 5 directory. Why is it then that in order to have maven compile my project for 1.5 I need to use the following? <build> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> <target>1.5</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> Thanks, Elliot --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
