I needed to run some selenium tests written by a Java team using maven
I ran into a couple of errors
Annotations are not supported in -source 1.3
This error is because by default maven comples code to be compatible with an older version of Java
To fix I had to add the foloowing to then pom.xml file
<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>
This allows the use of more recent code constructs
Next I had a firefox error
org.openqa.selenium.firefox.NotConnectedException: Unable to connect to host 127.0.0.1 on port 7055 after 45000 ms. Firefox console output:
It seems that maven was targetting an older version of firefox than I am using, this time I changed the selenium version number in the config as below
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
- <version>2.14.0</version>
+ <version>2.19.0</version>
</dependency>
