I'm not sure I understood what error/problem you would get.

You already added an "additionalCompilerOptions" element. IMO, it would be better if we didn't have to keep anything "in sync". The words "in sync" imply that there are two copies of something. So, I think the problem to discuss is how can we have one master file for default settings and have Ant and Maven and IDEs and command line users access them, without dependencies on Maven. And, the related problem is how we can add new compiler options without having to keep BaseMojo in sync. The only solution I can currently think of is my proposed "hack" that relies on the fact that the settings are described in a Maven pom and aren't so sophisticated that I can't just pull them out with an XML parser and no Maven dependencies. Other ideas are certainly welcome. And no rush to close this discussion. I have no plans to actually write such code any time soon unless folks start asking me to. -Alex
