I'm using maven 3.2.1 and when I run maven with -X I notice that version 2.5.1 of the compiler plugin is used:
> [DEBUG] Goal: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:compile > (default-compile) However, if I run mvn help:describe -Dplugin=compiler I get: Name: Maven Compiler Plugin Description: The Compiler Plugin is used to compile the sources of yourproject. Group Id: org.apache.maven.plugins Artifact Id: maven-compiler-plugin Version: 3.1 Goal Prefix: compiler What is the rationale for Maven using 2.5.1? John
