Configuring mysqld to listen for remote connections

I’m not sure if I originally configured this or if this is the default. My my.cnf file had this line in it which configures mysql to only listening for incoming connections from localhost and ignores all remote connections:

bind-address            = 127.0.0.1

Changing this to be the real ip of the server will allow it to listen for remote connections.

Maven and JAXB

Add this dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.sun.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-impl</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.5-b10</version>
</dependency>

If you have your jaxb.index file in your src/main/java source tree (probably should be in src/main/resources instead, unless you’d rather see it alongside your source), then you’ll also need a file pattern include in your build section:

<resources>
<!-- include jaxb index files -->
    <resource>
        <directory>src/main/java</directory>
        <includes>
            <include>**/*.index</include>
        </includes>
    </resource>
</resources>

Maven: Changing the Java target version

Maven defaults to Java 1.5 by default. You can change this via settings on the maven compiler plugin:

<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>

Alternatively, you can specify the source and target Java verison using these properties:

    <properties>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>
    </properties>
