Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-4676.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Bug
      Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann

MNG is for issues about Maven's core, for things like this, I suggest to simply contact the developer list.

You also want to keep in mind that the Java version required to build your project is not the same the version required to run it. I..e. even if some plugins require Java 1.5, one can still build projects/artifacts that support Java 1.4

Last but not least, the Apache parent, just like any other parent POM, provide default values. You are free to override plugin versions or configuration to suite your needs.

> The Apache parent pom version 7 seems to require Java 1.5 (because maven-remote-resources-plugin v1.1 requires Java 1.5) yet the compile.source and compile.target are 1.4. 
> Is it intentional that AP Pom v7 requires 1.5?
> It would help if the Apache Parent Pom stated the minimum version of Java it is intended to support.
