All, I'm currently trying to build a release with Maven but ran into a snag that Maven 3.3 doesn't support running on java 6 anymore. However I like to ensure our wicket 6.x releases are built with an actual Java 6 release, so I am in the process of using toolchains [1] for the release building.
Maven toolchains allow you to specify a required Java version in your pom, and in your local maven settings (~/.m2/toolchains.xml) where Maven can find the particular JDK version. This allows us to run Maven with Java 7 and compile using an actual Java 6 JDK. Martijn
