Description

some aspects are unclear:

  • compilerVersion is only used when forking
  • fork should indicate that it uses the built in version when false, not an executable.

Also:

  • don't set parameters that only apply to forking when fork is false to make the code more readable
  • specifiy which are specific to javac, or java in general (perhaps we should be able to assign a @category to a plugin parameter)

Here's one more:

  • The docs for the source and target config props should state that the default value for those properties is "1.3".

actually according to the sources, the target default value is 1.1 and the source default value is 1.3 for jdks 1.4+ and no source is set for older jdks.
