Configure compile JDK vs. compile-test JDK

[Howard Lewis Ship <hl...@gmail.com>]

I would like to compile my code as source and target for JDK 1.3.

However, I use some JDK 1.5 stuff in my tests; I would like to
configure my tests differently.

Looking at the configuration mechanism, it appears that the
granularity is at the plugin level.  I can't see how to configure one
goal within a plugin differently than another.

I've been looking over the docs, including
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/howto.html, and
not seeing how to set things one way for compiler:compile, and another
way for compiler:testCompile.

Re: Configure compile JDK vs. compile-test JDK

We seem to have missed that use case after we changed from the
per-goal configuration model to the lifecycle bindings.

I think our medium term plan is to make the compiler configuration a
separate component referenced from that plugin, and then the test one
can have its own configuration, but defaults to the normal compile
configuration. I'll get it into JIRA as two separate items.

As a stopgap, I think the following will work as is even if a bit verbose:
<configuration>
  <skip>true</skip>
  <source>1.3</source>
  <target>1.3</target>
</configuration>
<executions>
  <execution>
    <configuration>
      <skip>false</skip>
      <source>1.5</source>
      <target>1.5</target>
    </configuration>
    <goals>
      <goal>test-compile</goal>
    </goals>
  </execution>
</executions>

what this does:
- configure the compiler plugin for 1.3, and skip the default test compile goal
- add an additional test compile goal with the new parameters and the
test compilation not skipped

Cheers,
Brett
