Sorry, I left out part of what I intended to ask... I am aware of the possibility of forking off with a different javac [1]. I am actually wondering if this is the best way to handle this situation, or if there is a way to use the same JDK that Maven is running with but still be certain the artifact will run with an older JVM.

However, I want to be able to run Maven with a newer JDK and still be certain the produced artifact (jar) will run on a 1.4 JVM. I am under the impression that configuring maven-compiler-plugin with source and target 1.4 is not sufficient because the code could still be using stuff from the Java libraries which is only available in a later version of Java. What is the best way to accomplish this in Maven? I'm looking for a solution that will be completely portable, so the actual JDK being used to run Maven will be irrelevant. -- Daniel Siegmann FJA-US, Inc. 512 7th Ave. 15th Flr.
