Recheck POM xml
In order to fix issue, you first look at POM xml and make sure the version is specified and is correct.
</dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.5.8</version> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
Along with this make sure that eclipse.ini has also got the right JRE Java Runtime Environment version specified in it.
Maven Compiler Versions
You also need to look at the maven source and target versions you have used. Make sure they are in line and right.
<properties> <maven.compiler.source>1.5</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.5</maven.compiler.target> </properties>
JDK Incompatibility
Many a times it also is caused when OpenJDK is not compatible with your Java version. For example if you are not requiring Java 8 then simply purge it and get going.
sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk-8-jdk openjdk-8-jre
sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk-8-jdk-headless openjdk-8-jre-headless
Configuration Version
When you have seen all the above check, then you must also see the configuration settings in xml. Make sure that the version specified in configuration source and target is your JDK version.
<configuration>
<source>1.9</source>
<target>1.9</target>
</configuration>The Last Weapon
If all of this is updated, even if you experience this problem, then try to execute this command directly from the terminal rather than executing from eclipse$ mvn clean install
Before executing this make sure these things:
- System path is correct for maven
- Dependencies are correct for "m2/repository"
- Java, JDK, JAVA_HOME is in the path
