Invalid target release when compiling Java application

I get this error when I run mvn clean package in my IntelliJ terminal:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.6.1:compile (default-compile) on project protection: Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 1.8 -> [Help 1] [ERROR] [ERROR] To see the full stack trace of the errors, re-run Maven with the -e switch. [ERROR] Re-run Maven using the -X switch to enable full debug logging. [ERROR] [ERROR] For more information about the errors and possible solutions, please read the following articles: [ERROR] [Help 1] http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoExecutionException

Is this telling me that it is trying to compile with Java 1.8 or that it expects Java 1.8 but the available version is not correct?

You are using 1.8.And the default value for the compiler is 1.6 so you need to change the plugin properties to:

<plugins>
 <plugin>    
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <source>1.8</source>
        <target>1.8</target>
    </configuration>
 </plugin>
</plugins>
