RE: Compiling with jars that have classes in the default package, jdk1.4.2

I'm new to Maven, so I'm not if this will be useful...

Maybe you should try using fork=true and then configure the
maven.compiler.executable property to use an actual 1.3.x JDK compiler.  

We've had to take this route in the past (outside of Maven) to work around a
bug in the old 1.3.1 Webshere JVM.

HTH

Subject: Compiling with jars that have classes in the default package,

Hi all

Got a small issue compiling a project.
This is for JDK 1.3. This guy uses a jar that have many classes in the 
default package. But, running with JDK 1.4.2 here, i always get a 
compiling error stating that a '.' is expected in the import statement.

I've set the 2 properties of the java plugin:
maven.compile.target=1.3
maven.compile.source=1.3

But no use, I always get my compiling error.

Any idea on how to get rid of this error?

Thx a lot
Eric.
