.gitlab-ci.yml - control which java version is used

I have the following .gitlab-ci.yml file for my project

image: maven:3-jdk-7

build:
  script: "mvn install -B"

Which starts with the following output

gitlab-ci-multi-runner 1.0.4 (014aa8c)
WARNING: image is not supported by selected executor and shell
Using Shell executor...

Checking out 95ddd4fc as master...
HEAD is now at 95ddd4f... maven settings
$ mvn install -B

but then fails with error where java 8 is being used for the build

I do have java 8 installed locally but I expected the docker image definition to control this.

Can anybody suggest how i can work around this?

I've recommend step to docker runner instead of shell and then replace "image: maven:3-jdk-7" by image which have java 8? For example:

image: openjdk

As you use maven and do not install it, may be you need its image instead:

image: maven

Having done some digging today, the first warning was key

WARNING: image is not supported by selected executor and shell

indicating that I was attempting to execute a 'docker' 'image' via a 'shell' runner. I edited the file 

/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml

from 

/etc/gitlab-runner/config.toml
concurrent = 1

[[runners]]
name = "runner"
url = "http://10.139.11.103:8987/ci"
token = "xxxx"
tls-ca-file = ""
executor = "shell"
[runners.ssh]
[runners.docker]
  image = ""
  privileged = false
[runners.parallels]
  base_name = ""
[runners.virtualbox]
  base_name = ""

dropping all the docker and other runner settings, and added an 'environment' tag

concurrent = 1

[[runners]]
  name = "runner"
  url = "http://10.139.11.103:8987/ci"
  token = "xxxx"
  tls-ca-file = ""
  executor = "shell"
  shell="bash"
  environment= ["JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/"]

The final task was to updated by '.gitlab-ci.yml' file to

maven-package:
  script: "mvn install -B"

which calls the 'maven-package' module.
