My understanding is the by using that target attribute, maven is still using the default java installation to compile, but the byte code generated will be compatible with the java version specified.

I have traced the mvn shell script to watch it get used. I have set <source/> and <target/> in the compiler plugin to 1.5. I have checked the results with help:effective-pom. Nonetheless, code that calls the new DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(<several args>) compiles and even runs with no errors. I can't easily deinstall 1.6 from my mac. Has anyone else got a suggestion what stupid mistake I'm making here? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
