Description

The JDK auto detection currently checks the Compiler Plugin's target setting from <build>/<pluginManagement> and <build>/<plugins>, in that order with the first one winning. However, the setting from <build>/<plugins> is effectively dominant during a Maven build, i.e.

<build>
  <pluginManagement>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <target>1.4</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </pluginManagement>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <target>1.5</target>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

means JDK requirement is 1.5
