Nervous animal plugin Maven

Question

I am trying to use the Maven plugin for sniffer to verify that the code is compatible with JDK1.4. The following configuration works:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.jvnet</groupId>
    <artifactId>animal-sniffer</artifactId>
    <version>1.2</version>
    <configuration>
      <signature>
        <groupId>org.jvnet.animal-sniffer</groupId>
        <artifactId>java1.4</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
      </signature>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

However, this uses the old version of the org.jvnetplugin. When I try to use the new versionorg.codehaus.mojo

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
    <artifactId>animal-sniffer-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.5</version>
    <configuration>
      <signature>
        <groupId>org.jvnet.animal-sniffer</groupId>
        <artifactId>java1.4</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
      </signature>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

I get an error

[INFO] Failed to resolve artifact.

GroupId: org.codehaus.mojo.animal-sniffer
ArtifactId: java1.4
Version: 1.0

Please note that this is an artifact mentioned in the section <signature>, and not the plugin itself. The same artifact is mentioned in both versions, so I do not understand why it was not found when using the new version.

Has anyone successfully configured this plugin to work when using the new version?

Thanks Don

Use signature from CodeHaus:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <source>1.4</source>
        <target>1.4</target>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>animal-sniffer-maven-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>1.5</version>
      <executions>
        <execution>
          <id>check-java-version</id>
          <phase>verify</phase>
          <goals>
            <goal>check</goal>
          </goals>
          <configuration>
            <signature>
              <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo.signature</groupId>
              <artifactId>java14</artifactId>
              <version>1.0</version>
            </signature>
          </configuration>
        </execution>
      </executions>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>
