Description

The compilerArgs property documentation contains this example usage:

<compilerArgs>
  <arg>-Xmaxerrs=1000</arg>
  <arg>-Xlint</arg>
  <arg>-J-Duser.language=en_us</arg>
</compilerArgs>

But setting <arg>-Xmaxerrs=1000</arg> causes:

	...
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: invalid flag: -Xmaxerrs=1000

	at org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.javac.JavaxToolsCompiler.compileInProcess(JavaxToolsCompiler.java:125)
	... 16 more

This does work:

<compilerArgs>
  <arg>-Xmaxerrs</arg>
  <arg>1000</arg>
</compilerArgs>
