While converting from Ant to Maven2 i have came across following error while trying to compile the project
generics are not supported in -source 1.4 (try -source 1.5 to enable generics) private Map variables;
To fix the problem we need to add the pluggin configuration to our pom.xml
...
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
1.5
1.5
...
Thats it.
