Subject: Re: Default java source version
yes i could do that. thing is, many of my/our projects are unrelated and
shouldn't have a common parent, i only wanted to change the default
value of 1.3 to 1.5 or 1.6 but it seems that is is not possible without
changing the compiler plugin source... oh well.
thanks everyone.
cheers,
severin
