Description huima 2011-09-10 22:38:26 UTC 
In Jboss's GateIn portal project there is source level set up in root pom and different modules and projects use that as a parent.

Source level setting of:

 <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>

Is not inherited in Netbeans IDE settings, which means that IDE thinks that projects have source level of 1.3 - forcing the user to manually update the source/binary flag to 1.6 in every project.

SHould be able to replicate in a simple example project.

Working fine for me in a 7.1 dev build. "Source/Target Level" in the GUI of the child module displays the setting inherited from the parent POM, command-line builds work, editor uses appropriate source level. If you have a project which does not appear to be working correctly, please provide details to reproduce.
