Wendy Smoak commented on MNG-2257: ---------------------------------- This probably would have been better directed to the user list than the issue tracker. The reason for the failure is that the <plugin> (singular) element for maven-compiler-plugin is missing. You have: <build>/<plugins>/<groupId> It should be: <build>/<plugins>/<plugin>/<groupId> It's interesting that the error message mentions <configuration>/<source> rather than the real cause of the problem. > Failed to parse pom.xml when set to 1.5 source and target > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2257 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2257 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: POM > Versions: 2.0.4 > Environment: java version "1.5.0_06" > Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05) > Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode) > Cygwin on Windows XP > Reporter: Hanson Char > Attachments: mvn.log, pom.xml > > > mvn failed to parse a simple pom which is set to use jdk 1.5 source and target -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
