As you can see in the example above, a JDK toolchain with <<<\<version\>>>> "1.5" and <<<\<vendor\>>>> "sun" is to be used. Now how
does the plugin know where this JDK is installed? This is where the <<<toolchains.xml>>> file comes in.
The <<<toolchains.xml>>> file (see below) is the configuration file where you set the installation paths of your toolchains.
This file should be put in your <<<${user.home}/.m2>>> directory. When the <<<maven-toolchains-plugin>>> executes, the <<<maven-toolchain>>> component

plugin. In our example, that would be a JDK toolchain with <<<\<version\>>>> "1.5" and <<<\<vendor\>>>> "sun". Once a match is found,
the plugin then sets the toolchain to be used in the MavenSession. As you can see in our <<<toolchains.xml>>> below, there is indeed a JDK
toolchain with <<<\<version\>>>> "1.5" and <<<\<vendor\>>>> "sun" configured. So when the <<<maven-compiler-plugin>>> we've
configured in our <<<pom.xml>>> above executes, it would see that a JDK toolchain is set in the MavenSession and would thereby use
that toolchain (that would be the JDK installed at <<</path/to/jdk/1.5>>> for our example) to compile the sources.
