Adding maven-compiler-plugin to super POM
Hello, I'm trying to come up with a way such that new maven projects I create
are ready to use JDK 1.5 by inheritance from a super POM. I'm having no
luck, hence this post. I'm new to maven (thanks to this forum for telling me
maven defaults to jdk 1.3) so super POMs are a little unfamiliar to me, from
searching this forum I'm told that creating a pom.xml in the parent
directory of my project "somehow" does the trick. I created one, added the
plugin for maven-compiler-plugin, ran mvn install, but I still get jdk
compiling errors. Does anyone have any suggestions in setting a jdk level
globally for my environment? Are super POMs even the way to go? I tend to
create a lot of little projects for prototyping and having to tell Maven I
want jdk 1.5 for each of them is annoying. Thanks in advance!

You need to specify this pom as a <parent> element in your child
pom...simply adding it in the parent directory doesn't magically do it
for you ;-) Also, super-pom is normally reserved to mean the pom
included in the maven core...the true super pom. A more appropriate term
is a corporate pom for a corp wide setup, or just a parent pom.

In your pom.xml file add the following:
<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>
Thanks,

Re: Adding maven-compiler-plugin to super POM
Posted by mikeottinger <mi...@hotmail.com>.
Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I read up on parent/child POMs and now
understand what I was doing (or wasn't in this case). So maybe I'll modify
my intitial question, is there anyway to configure my environment (Mac OS X)
to tell Maven I always want JDK 1.5? It'd be nice if it inferred this from
my JAVA_HOME setting. Or is it just an accepted practice that every Maven
project must be explicitly set to JDK 1.5 via the maven-compiler-plugin?
Thanks again.
