Compiler settings in Maven
I'm using JDK 1.5 but for some reason Maven gives a compiler error saying
"use -source 5 or higher to enable annotations". How can I tell Maven which
compiler to use?
I don't know much about Maven so I don't know where to change the setting -
would it be a project-level setting, would it be a custom property, would it
be a plugin option?
Thanks.

-1. I wouldn't want the default to change. A lot of people still run
App servers that require Java4 and won't run on Java5. Once Java4 is
fully end-of-lifed, then I wouldn't complain if it was altered.
Auto-detection based on JAVA_HOME would be a more palatable solution.
Cheers,
James

Maybe the default setting for maven shoudl be moved from 1.3 (I think?)
to 1.5 after all it is a development tool and I think at this stage most
development is done under 1.5. It would just make it an easier
experience for new users of maven and preclude them having to ask this
question on the forum. Also surely when you specify your JAVA_HOME it
could infer the version and make it the default for you installation.
Just a thought

Add this to the bottom of your pom.
<build>
<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>
</build>
