switch to JDK 6 was done for 3.2 see the reference http://maven.apache.org/docs/history.html
and even if Maven requires JDK 6, you can use toolchains or animal sniffer to compile for Java 5: - toolchains'logic is to compile with JDK 5, even if Maven uses a JDK 6, - animal sniffers' logic is to compile with the JDK that runs Maven with - target 1.5 then to check/sniff that only JDK 5 API is used Regards, Hervé Le jeudi 8 janvier 2015 12:09:02 Andreas Lehmkühler a écrit : > Hi, > > > sebb <seb...@gmail.com> hat am 8.
