Your plugins require that the version be set to 1.5 exactly.  When I set the java version to 1.6, I get an error that effectively states it is running in JDK 1.4 code.


This bug has been reported for years (starting with v. 1.5.3), you have apparently fixed it in the past. 

Previous bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=164384


Your method: isInJava5Mode()  returns false  - if the java version is not exactly 1.5

Obviously, the intent is to detect Java 5 features which are also present in 1.6 and 1.7.



MAVEN: compiler version:

  1.5 code runs
  1.6 causes the error below

        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.3.2</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.5</source>
                    <target>1.5</target>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>

Perhaps you should do some testing from the command line or in a different IDE.


This bug has been around for 6 years, can you please fix it permanently?
