inthis thread, because it's dependent on openjdk 1.7.0.  You'll need to make sure that your JAVA_HOME is set
appropriatelyto compile with Java 1.8, or you'll get a maven enforcer plugin error, since it may use 1.7 as the default
wheninstalled this way.  But, I think the rest of it should work when tested locally.

In case it helps, Maven has a "toolchains" plugin that allows you
to declare in the POM which version of the JDK should be used to
compile.

Each developer box then has a ~/.m2/toolchains.xml file which
maps from JDK version to JAVA_HOME directory to use.

It is a little bit of a pain as each developer must then declare
all installed JDKs, but makes development much easier when multiple
projects and different JDK major versions are possibly involved.

concernbecause the sources jar does not appear to contain the pom file for compilation.  Typically the RPM code uses a
sourcetarball as a starting point.  Just curious if that's going to be hosted somewhere.

thespec-file recognize this build dependency.

BeforeI submit the changes to pgrpm, I was wondering if those changes are discussed in the community here, or if
they'rediscussed solely with the team that works on the pgrpm repository?
