[parent] incorrect documentation on site

["Honton, Charles" <Ch...@intuit.com>]

At http://commons.apache.org/commons-parent-pom.html, the section "Configuring the Java Source/Target options" indicates I should use maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target to specify the component's compiler version — However, the pom (version 24) uses maven.compile.source and maven.compile.target

The links to the parent pom on this page refer to a version SNAPSHOT-25 of the pom.  What's the latest released version?

Thanks,
chas

That's unfortunate.

The Maven compiler plugin [1] uses maven.compiler.source, however for
some reason CP uses maven.compile.source.
[Maybe Maven1 used to use compile rather than compiler?]

So when using Commons Parent 24 (or before) one has to use "compile"
and if not, one has to use "compiler".

I guess we could fix that for CP25; however it would mean changing all
component POMs when upgrading.
Not a huge amount of work, and any component that failed to change the
property definition would likely fail to compile.
I'll raise a JIRA to keep it in mind.

Meanwhile I'll update the site.

24

We should probably fix the links so they point to the current released
POM rather than whatever is in trunk.
