Description tweetysat Mising name

2011-10-12 07:19:53 EDT

Build Identifier: 20110916-0149

I'm working with m2e plugin version 1.0.100.20110804-1717.

There is only one 'installed jre' : jdk1.6.0_23 (c:\....\jdk1.6.0_23)

If I do new maven project ... create a simple project (or any other archetype), the project is created with jre system library : J2SE-1.5 containing some jars from c:\....\jdk1.6.0_23\jre\lib. 

And there is a warning message :
Build path specifies execution environment J2SE-1.5. There are no JREs installed in the workspace that are strictly compatible with this environment. JRE System Library Problem.

The pom.xml is only containing

<project xmlns="...maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="...www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="...maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 ...maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>toto</groupId>
<artifactId>toto</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</project>

So I have to add manually, for each project,

<plugin>
<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>

How to fix the problem ?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create new maven project
2.
3.

The observed behaviour is expected and desired. m2e matches workspace project JRE to the java version configured in pom.xml.

Thanks, but wichh pom.xml ?
When creating a new maven project, there is not yet a pom.xml.  And the file created does not contains any jre references.

Maven (maven-compiler-plugin, to be precise) provides default java level.
