    As far as I know, this will not make Maven compile against the Java 1.5 libraries. This will only tell the compiler to accept 1.5-level source code and produce 1.5-level class files.

    Your code could still possibly refer to Java 6 classes, as long as your Maven task is run with a Java 6 JVM.

    IF you execute:

    mvn -v 

    The output will show you what version of Java is being used. For example:

    Apache Maven 2.1.0 (r755702; 2009-03-18 19:10:27+0000) Java version: 1.6.0_13 Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_13\jre Default locale: en_IE, platform encoding: Cp1252 OS name: 'windows vista' version: '6.0' arch: 'x86' Family: 'windows'
