Thanks for the suggestion - that worked, although it isn't ideal. I'm looking at this with Jakarta Commons in mind, where (possibly) many components would inherit from a main pom.xml. Using this approach a component could override the "maven-compiler-plugin" configuration and then what was being output to the manifest would not be the values the compiler actually used. Is there no way of getting a reference to the compiler plugin and accesssing its configuration values?
