This depends on plugin version. I think that in the latest version default is 1.5. Most of projects we ship define source/target, but sometimes it's quite low. There a few project with 1.4 or 1.3 sources, some of which use "enum" or "assert" as identifiers (or have other problems) and can't be compiled with higher source levels. As of today 1.5 is still definitely the most popular source level used in Fedora packages. I wouldn't want to fail builds of hundreds of packages and force maintainers to patch them manually. That's why XMvn adjusts compiler plugin configuration at build time. -- Mikolaj Izdebski Software Engineer, Red Hat IRC: mizdebsk -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
