Basically, it detects when things are being built with Java5 instead of java6 and turns on the jdk15 profile. If you look in the poms, there are few places where the jdk15 profiles changes things. The two major things that happen are: 1) Add additional dependencies - when on Java6, we don't need thinks like saaj-*, activation, annotation, etc... as they are built into the JDK. On Java5, we need them. 2) JAX-WS 2.2 - by default, we don't use jaxws/jaxb 2.2 by default on Java6 as it requires a lot of endorsing and such. With Java5, we can.
