Description

As of now, the plexus-compiler-aspectj component does not support Java beyond version 1.5.

Please remove this constraint altogether from the component and also introduce a compliance version
parameter.

In addition, the targetJDK option must also be set, something that is currently not
being handled by the component.

I will provide you with an initially patched version over at github ASAP and will
also attach the patch to this ticket as soon as it is ready.

An initial try to fix the problem (based on current TRUNK) can be found under

https://github.com/axnsoftware/plexus-compiler-aspectj/commit/0cefa34e1d7983ea9540d0e0e39cb3fda5db030f

I will further test this over @ work and comment upon its status.

PS: your test cases do not work with Maven 3.0.3 – perhaps checking for prerequisites in AbstractCompilerTest
is not so good? Why not let Maven stumble over missing dependencies?

I see that the AjBuildManager does not actually make any use of
the sourceLevel, complianceLevel and targetJDK options, so this
request is actually moot...

Please close.
