Set "Thip, crinkle, spoit" to OFF

It's a Dilbert reference.

Here's something that tends to bite me on the ass if I haven't started a new Maven project recently: Maven defaults to Java 1.3. Like, even if my /usr/bin/java is 1.6, Maven still horks if my code isn't compatible with 1.3, which it usually isn't because of generics. So I end up having to track down this snippet and paste it into my pom.xml:

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <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>
        </plugins>
    </build>

On a related note, it seems that the Groovy-Eclipse plugin doesn't add JUnit to the classpath for Groovy projects. So you need to paste

    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.JUNIT_CONTAINER/4"/>

into your .classpath file and restart Eclipse.
