[jira] Created: (MCOMPILER-58) Improve documentation for cross-compiling Java code

Improve documentation for cross-compiling Java code
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MCOMPILER-58
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-58
             Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Stefano Lenzi


I think it's a good idea to provide some example on how to configure the plugin in order to cross-compile java code for different version. 
Please note that the option source and target are not enough for cross-compiling those option check only respectively Java language and generated Java bytecode, the messing part is to check that no classes or method not available on the target platform are invoked.

You may check this link for clarification:

Also it would be nice if you add some clarification on how to obtain/resolve different rt.jar artifact dependencies.
