Ate Douma commented on COMMONSSITE-69:
--------------------------------------

I notice this change has been done and released with c-p 32, meaning components upgrading to this latest c-p pom will have to modify their Maven build properties.
However several documentation pages have not been updated/fixed for this change yet, like:

  http://commons.apache.org/commons-parent-pom.html#Configuring_the_Java_SourceTarget_options
  http://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html#Configure_the_Build_to_Generate_a_Complete_Set_of_Release_Artifacts
  http://commons.apache.org/releases/prepare.html#Class_File_Format

> Commons parent uses the property name maven.compile.[source|target] rather than maven.compiler.[source|target] as used by the Maven Compiler plugin itself [1]
> This is a bit confusing.
> Consider whether this should be changed to agree with the standard Maven property name.
> Or indeed to change it to use a commons-specific property name.
> This would mean that components would have to rename the property in their POM when they updated to the new commons parent POM.
> If the parent pom is changed to use the standard Maven names, then it could be simplified by removing the <source> and <target> configuration elements (but this should not be considered a good reason to change the name, only a minor benefit if we do).
