The problem with -Xlint: everything and maven

I am trying to get maven to display lint level warnings. I created a small test program that should generate a warning about using the static method from a non-static context, but despite many different plug-in configuration parameters, the assembly always succeeds without any warnings!

After doing some searches, I found suggestions to use the 'compilerArgument (s)' attribute of the compiler plugin, but that doesn't seem to work for me either.

Here is my sample program that should generate a warning:

package com.dahlgren;

    /**
     * Test space
     *
     */
    public class App {
        public static void main( String[] args ) {
            String foo = "foo";
            // I want this to generate a compilation warning
            System.out.println(foo.format("blah"));
        }
    }

, javadoc Java 6 String :: format , . , , :-)
