maven: (use -source 5 or higher to enable static import declarations)

Question

How can I use source 5? I tried

mvn -source 5 test

but it didn\'t work :-)

When I compile the file by javac, everything works.

Answer 1

You need to configure the maven-compiler-plugin:

  ...
  
    
      
        org.apache.maven.plugins
        maven-compiler-plugin
        2.3.2
        
          1.5
          1.5
        
      
      ...
    
    ...
  

EDIT: Changed example to use latest version of the plugin.
