How do I get a Java maven build to fail for compiler warnings?

Question

I am trying:

        
            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-compiler-plugin&l

By using the workaround in this comment in the open jira issue for maven compiler plugin, the build can be failed for compiler warning.

This works for me:

    
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-compiler-plugin
        2.3.2
        
            javac
            1.6
            1.6
            -Werror
            true
        

        
           
                org.codehaus.plexus
                plexus-compiler-api
                1.8.2
                
                  
                    org.codehaus.plexus
                    plexus-component-api
                  
                
           
           
                org.codehaus.plexus
                plexus-compiler-manager
                1.8.2
                
                  
                    org.codehaus.plexus
                    plexus-component-api
                  
                
           
           
                org.codehaus.plexus
                plexus-compiler-javac
                1.8.2
                runtime
                
                  
                        org.codehaus.plexus
                        plexus-component-api
