Description

I have JDK 8 (Java version: 1.8.0_91, vendor: Oracle Corporation) installed with Maven 3.2.5 and the maven-compiler-plugin is set for source and target version 1.6.
I'm getting the following compilation error:xxx is not abstract and does not override abstract method getParentLogger() in javax.sql.CommonDataSource
Switching the environment (PATH and JAVA_HOME) to work with JDK 6 (Java version: 1.6.0_45, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.) compiles OK.
Seems to me that the plugin is not really compiles for 1.6.
