Pass Compiler Arguments

  Sometimes, you need to pass other compiler arguments that are not handled by
  the Compiler Plugin itself but is supported by the <<<compilerId>>> selected.
  For such arguments, the Compiler Plugin's <<<compilerArguments>>> will be
  used.  The following example passes compiler arguments to the <<<javac>>>
  compiler:

+-----
<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    [...]
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <compilerArgument>-verbose -bootclasspath ${java.home}\lib\rt.jar</compilerArgument>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    [...]
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
+-----

  Or you can also use the Map version:

+-----
<project>
  [...]
  <build>
    [...]
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <compilerArguments>
            <verbose />
            <bootclasspath>${java.home}\lib\rt.jar</bootclasspath>
          </compilerArguments>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    [...]
  </build>
  [...]
</project>
