Last time I checked, the maven compiler plugin uses the 1.4 source level.
In my case, I use Java 5, so my source level it's 1.5
You tell the plugin to use that source level on it's configuration options:
Here's a pom snippet:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
I you wish to guarantee the same exact jdk version for all your developers,
you should try the enforcer plugin.
