Okay just wanted to mention that if you’ve done a custom Datasource for java 6 and try to compile it with java 7 on maven using backwards compability you get this:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2:compile (default-compile) on pr
oject wallboard-cisco-drivers: Compilation failure

[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command

Please notice that i’ve specified this in my pom:
<plugin>
<inherited>true</inherited>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Only solution are to grab an old jdk 6 and compile it with that.. I was using jdk 1.7.0.
Feel free to correct me if im wrong somehow.
