how to use source level 5 in Maven projects?

[legolas]

Hi
Thank you for reading my post.
I am trying to use annotation in a Maven project and it constantly disallow
me with an error like:

Annotation is not allowed in -source 1.3 use -source 5 or higher to enable
annotation.

but there is no place to change the source level in project properties.

Can you please let me know how to do it?

Hi legolas,

you must add the source level at your pom.xml (you find it under
"Project Files" like:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

The pom.xml is the project configuration file, like it is common in
Maven, so Netbeans use this file instead creating an own config file/folder.

HTH,
Marco

Hi legolas,

the entry is on the project-tag-level:

<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>sample.first</groupId>
<artifactId>first01</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<name>first01</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>

<!-- Add here -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.5</source>
<target>1.5</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

</project>

Or you can configure how Milos described it.

Marco

P. S. If you are new in maven you should maybe read
