+      <question>How do I get Maven to compile using JDK 1.5?</question>
+      <answer>
+        <p>
+          The default javac settings cause problems with jdk 1.5 because the 
+          target is set to 1.1 and no source has been set.
+        </p>
+        <p>
+          You will need to provide two properties to allow compilation to work
+          with 1.5:
+        </p>
+        <source><![CDATA[
+maven.compile.source=1.5
