Thanks Randall - all I could find was settings dealing with activation of profiles depending on the JDK version, not the actual setting of the JDK version.

I did try the following in settings.xml to set the plug-in variable directly, but it didn't work (and it was just a guess):

 <profiles>
   <profile>
     <id>java1.5-default-profile</id>
     <properties>
       <maven.compile.source>1.5</maven.compile.source>
       <maven.compile.target>1.5</maven.compile.target>
     </properties>
   </profile>
 </profiles>

 <activeProfiles>
   <activeProfile>java1.5-default-profile</activeProfile>
 </activeProfiles>

Oliver,

        Look at the profiles configuration in the settings.xml, I
believe there is a place there to specify the "overall" Java version to
use.

Subject: Java 1.5 compilation setting in settings.xml?


Hello -

I'm wondering if there is a way to set the maven compiler plugin defaults from the settings.xml file instead of the POM file?

Basically, I'm trying to make Java 1.5 the default instead of 1.4, without having to add plug-in configuration info to each one of my POM files. I know there must be a way, and I searched the FAQ and the online book, but I couldn't find the magic words!

-Oliver
