Hi,

I want to pass different options to maven-compiler-plugin during compile
and testCompile goals. Let's say, I want to set source level as 1.4 for
all my src/main/java code and set source level as 1.5 for my test

sources. How do I do it? I found someone having similar requirements in the past [1], but there is no mention of a working solution yet.

Thanks,
Sahoo

what about something like this?

<build>
      <plugins>
              <plugin>
                      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                      <artifactId>maven-compiler
-plugin</artifactId>
                      <configuration>

<compilerVersion>${sourceLevel}</compilerVersion>

                              <source>${sourceLevel}</source>
                              <target>${sourceLevel}</target>
                      </configuration>
                      <executions>
                              <execution>
                                      <id>compile-tests</id>
                                      <phase>process-test-sources</phase>
                                      <goals>
                                              <goal>testCompile</goal>
                                      </goals>
                                      <configuration>

<source>${testSourceLevel}</source> <target>${testSourceLevel}</target>

                                      </configuration>
                              </execution>
                      </executions>
              </plugin>
      </plugins>
</build>
<properties>
      <sourceLevel>1.4</sourceLevel>
      <testSourceLevel>1.5</testSourceLevel>
</properties>

Thanks for your timely response. Your suggestion seems to work, but I think there is something else which is contributing to the success here. *I see maven-compiler-plugin:testCompile goal is invoked twice*. The first time it uses our execution configuration, where as the second time around, it uses the default configuration. Since the test sources are already compiled during first execution, they are not compiled second time around. See the output below:

[INFO] [resources:resources]
[INFO] Using default encoding to copy filtered resources.
[INFO] [compiler:compile]
[INFO] Compiling 1 source file to /tmp/my-app/target/classes
[INFO] [compiler:testCompile {execution: compile-tests}]
[INFO] Compiling 1 source file to /tmp/my-app/target/test-classes
[INFO] [resources:testResources]
[INFO] Using default encoding to copy filtered resources.
[INFO] [compiler:testCompile]
[INFO] Nothing to compile - all classes are up to date
[INFO] [surefire:test]

Thanks,
Sahoo
