How does maven work in 6.7.1?

[kcavanaugh]

I'm trying to create a simple library in NB 6.7.1 under maven. Unfortunately
it defaults to source level 1.3
(why do you do that? Most people are using a more recent version of Java
than that).
I tried to fix this in project properties, but setting the source level to
1.6 is ignored.
I tried several times to edit the pom.xml to fix this (including following
the instructions in
http://forums.netbeans.org/ptopic5628.html), but I can't get the pom file to
parse properly or else
find some unknown plugin (this is why I hate maven).

After attempting to follow the directions in the above link, I ended up with
the following pom file:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>org.glassfish</groupId>
<artifactId>pfl</artifactId>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0</version>
<name>pfl</name>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>

This of course does not work because there is no plugin. Trying to include
source/target outside of
plugin seems to indicate that it needs to be in plugin. So how is this
supposed to work?
And why isn't NB doing it's job and hiding this maven nonsense in the
project better?

Hi,

You need to configure the maven-compiler-plugin - the pom.xml you posted doesn't bind your configuration directives to anything.

This is what you need:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Cheers
Geoff

Do you have the jdk 1.6 installed in your machine?
