Question

I’m interested if someone has clue how to handle this pom in projects properties of IDEA:

<plugin>
   <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
   <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
   <configuration>
       <source>1.3</source>
       <target>1.3</target>
       <testSource>1.5</testSource>
       <testTarget>1.5</testTarget>
   </configuration>
   <version>3.0</version>
</plugin> 

Should I set project level 1.3 and module level 1.5 or wise verse around?

As well anytime when IDEA reloads maven project it sets language levels as it thinks from maven to 1.3 and after always complaints about test classes.

But this will go as bug report to JetBrains.

Supporting test source/target levels is tracked by this request. Language level changed message is also a known issue.
