Correct compiler settings in spring-parent pom.xml to allow build with Maven [SPR-5735]

[spring-projects-issues]

Oliver Drotbohm opened SPR-5735 and commented

Trying to provide some extensions for Spring JDBC I tried to check out the module and integrate it into mavenized Eclipse (m2Eclipse). Currently most modules don't compile correctly due to the Maven compiler plugin being set to work with 1.5. The following settings will let it compile against Java 6:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <source>1.6</source>
    <target>1.5</target>
    <fork>true</fork>
    <compilerVersion>1.6</compilerVersion>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

At the moment, we do not support building with maven, only "spring-build" as described here. http://blog.springsource.com/2009/03/03/building-spring-3/ One of the issues building with maven is thre are several external dependencies that are not in any public public repository.

I was going to resolve the issue as 'won't fix' but decided to at least make this change as you are using it inside eclipse and can therefore tweak the eclipse project to have it compile some modules and not others.
