[Midpoint-dev] Java version hard-coded

[Kramer, David]

Hi.  I’m just starting to look into midPoint.  We got a server up and running, and I want to try out the web service interface using the sample program mentioned on https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Model+Web+Service+Client+Sample so I got the source code from Git.

I had troubles building part of it:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on project test-ng: Compilation failure
[ERROR] Failure executing javac,  but could not parse the error:
[ERROR] javac: invalid target release: 1.7
[ERROR] Usage: javac <options> <source files>
[ERROR] use -help for a list of possible options
[ERROR] -> [Help 1]

I think the problem is caused by testing/systest/pom.xml


                                               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

                                                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

                                                <version>2.3.2</version>

                                                <configuration>

                                                        <source>1.7</source>

                                                        <target>1.7</target>

                                                        <fork>true</fork>

                                                        <meminitial>128m</meminitial>

                                                        <maxmem>768m</maxmem>

                                                        <showDeprecation>true</showDeprecation>

                                                        <showWarnings>true</showWarnings>

                                                </configuration>


I’m running 1.7.0_51.  Is it really customary to hard-code Java versions in this way?
Is that the source of the problem?
Can I  just change the target?

Full mvn clean compile output attached.

Thanks.
