Fail to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile): Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 11

I want to build project and it give error like this:

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project messaging-utils-core: Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 11

I've tried to fix in various way by Googling it up but it doesn't work in my local. I am using Eclipse.

Here is how my pom.xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

I run mvn --version and it give this:

Apache Maven 3.6.3

Java version: 1.8.0_281

For my environment I have this:

JAVA_HOME = D:\pathlocation\jdk1.8.0_281

Please assist me as I try to fix this issue several days already and still haven't solve. Thank you.

In my case: I had installed java 8 and 17 both on local environment. but I forgot to update JAVA_HOME to JDK 17, And JAVA IDE was compiling project at JDK 8 thats why i was getting this error.

once i update JAVA_HOME to JDK 17 installed path in environment variables. i was able to resolve this issue. #jdk8 #jdk17 #springboot2.3 #maven #compilingerrors

I fixed by adding this:

<properties>
    <java.version>8</java.version>
</properties>

In the POM.xml file

I have fixed the issue already. I just add this:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.0</version>
<configuration>
    <source>1.8</source> 
    <target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>

You are trying to build a project for Java 11 with JDK 8.

So you need to use a newer JDK.
