Re: [jsp-dev] What version should be specified for maven-compiler-plugin? 
+1 on the move to 1.8. The code might not strictly need 1.8 but it may
allow some small improvements and there is no benefit to remaining
compatible with 1.7 as I don't see any possibility of a Jakarta EE 9
implementation running on Java 7.

The POMs look like they need some work. I'm not particularly familiar
with Maven. Are you?

There is the overall EE4J parent and the POMs for the API and the impl
use directly. Then there is the POM for the spec that references the POM
in parent-pom which in turn references the EE4J parent. And then there
is the POM in the top-level directory.

Looking at all of this my guess is as follows:

- the top level POM is intended to help build all 3 modules (API, impl,
  spec) but not to act as a parent for them
- each module should reference the latest EE4J parent
- parent-pom is unnecessary

Am I even close to understanding this correctly?

I'm involved in 4 projects and each has a slightly different structure.
it would be great to get a clear picture of how the POMs are meant to
work and then all four projects aligned.
