Description Michael Gorovoy CLA 2011-05-11 20:49:54 EDT 
I've been able to use String.isEmpty() method in my code, and neither Eclipse, nor Maven cli compile had given me a compile error.
Comment 1 Jan Bartel CLA 2011-06-30 00:24:54 EDT 
I'm changing this to an enhancement, as perhaps there is something that can be done with maven-toolchain to set the jdk ... although we don't want to have to set toolchain.xml files in everyone's .m2 dir in order to do a compile ...
Comment 2 Jesse McConnell CLA 2011-07-19 15:19:00 EDT 
properly configured eclipse this is not a big deal and I ran across this the other day with a commit of gregs and eclipse had flagged it automatically for me...

so I don't think its worth spending any time, as a developer just make sure your toolchain is setup correctly

if this becomes a systemic issue that starts chewing up more time then the odd committ here and there then I'll reopen and investigate further
Comment 3 Michael Gorovoy CLA 2011-07-19 16:47:43 EDT 
I agree that this is not a big deal. I suspect this might have been caused by an older version of m2eclipse not importing the compiler compliance settings correctly. I've re-imported the projects into my workspace following the move to Git and this time it got set up properly.
