Maven: Invalid target release: 10
JavaMavenpom.xmlJava 10Java Problem Overview
I'm trying to compile my maven project using Java 10 but I'm having trouble. In my IDE (IntelliJ IDEA) everything compiles and runs just fine under Java 10. I installed the latest maven version 3.5.4 and pointed my JAVA_HOME to the JDK 10:
$ mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.5.4 (1edded0938998edf8bf061f1ceb3cfdeccf443fe; 2018-06-17T20:33:14+02:00)
Maven home: C:\Maven\bin\..
Java version: 10.0.2, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 10", version: "10.0", arch: "amd64", family: "windows"
The maven command I use is:
mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip
In my pom.xml I had the following for Java 8 which worked fine:
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
<libraries.directory>libraries</libraries.directory>
</properties>
For Java 10 I changed it to the following:
<maven.compiler.source>10</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>10</maven.compiler.target>
This does not work, just like using 1.10 as the version for the source and target compiler.
The full debug logging output (-X command line switch) is the following:

Adding the maven-compiler-plugin like suggested in this answer also does not work:
Fatal error compiling: invalid flag: --release -> [Help 1]
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Java Solutions
Solution 1 - Java
Same problem fixed for me by setting JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the JDK with right version.
My source and destination java version in maven-compiler-plugin were 11, java -version was also on version 11, but my JAVA_HOME was pointing to JDK-1.8.
Check JAVA_HOME again by using a terminal instead of IDE:
Linux:
echo $JAVA_HOME
Win:
echo %JAVA_HOME%
Then Build your project in the same terminal:
mvn clean package
Solution 2 - Java
This worked for me:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.7.0</version>
<configuration>
<release>10</release>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This answer says you need:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId>
<artifactId>asm</artifactId>
<version>6.2</version> <!-- Use newer version of ASM -->
</dependency>
</dependencies>
inside the <plugin/> tag, but the newer mvn (3.5.4) must obviate that, since I didn't need it.
Solution 3 - Java
Get your java version by running java -version.
You'll get a output like :
java version "1.8.0_201"
Now go to your POM file and update source and target properities of maven-compiler-plugin with your installed java version. In my case it's 1.8
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Solution 4 - Java
I had a similar problem with spring boot and java 11. I solved it by defining the following property in my pom
<maven.compiler.release>11</maven.compiler.release>
Might be useful for someone in the future.
Solution 5 - Java
This means you are using java.version 10 which you have not installed.
<properties>
<java.version>10</java.version>
</properties>
Solution 6 - Java
As you are using Intellij, you need to follow below steps (Here I'm using Java 11, but the same applies to Java 10 and other versions as well)-
- Change SDK under Project Structure to Java 11
- Change language level for modules (if needed) under Project Structure
- Change JRE under runner in settings
- Change Target bytecode version under Java compiler in Settings
-
Check maven version under Maven in settings for supporting Java 11
-
In your pom, mention the version as follows, you can ignore the encoding tag here
- Lastly confirm your run configuration before building project
- If you are using Windows machine, then change environment variables JAVA_HOME, Path and MAVEN_HOME accordingly.
Solution 7 - Java
Check your JAVA_HOME version. It seems your java version in JAVA_HOME and in POM is different. Set JAVA_HOME path properly by editing in Environment variable in Windows.
Solution 8 - Java
Sometimes it's just your java version. For example, when the project uses Java 10 but your Java Path is set to 8, etc. Try running java -version and make sure it's the same as your project. If not, fix it and try again.
Solution 9 - Java
thanks to the answer above, You are using 10, i use 11, but i guess the steps are similar.
the whole point for me is to explicitly specify the version as java 11 in my pom.xml, and I solved the problem by taking the following steps.
-
open terminal and input: java -version, then i got 1.8, and i went to .bash_profile to switch the java version to 11.2 as i have multiple java version installed. please remember "restart" your terminal and check your java version again to confirm switch is successful.
-
Then i went to File -> Project Structure to make sure my IntelliJ using the same version as my env, which is 11.2.
-
RESTART your Intellij, mvn clean install, solved, hope this could help someone with this issue, thanks.
Solution 10 - Java
In "File >> Project Structure >> Project Settings >> Project >> Project SDK" choose the version of your Java installed and click OK.
It solved my Maven problem:
> Invalid Target Release: 16 .
