Compile Maven Module with Different Java Version

Question

My maven project has a few modules: server, web, etc.

I would like to build all but my server module on Java 6. For the server module, I\'d like to compile it with J

Answer 1

use the setup for the JDK6 on your top pom, it will be inherited by all the module, and overwrite it for your server pom with the different configuration required.

As for the path of the JDK, you can specify it, see here: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/compile-using-different-jdk.html
