Maven - Java version changes automatically to 1.5 after maven update

-
Maven - Java version changes automatically to 1.5 after maven update In my maven project whenever i update the project, my project would default to J2SE-1.5 execution environment. To overcome this issue add the following properties in the POM.xml <properties> <maven.compiler.source> 1.8 </maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target> 1.8 </maven.compiler.target> </properties> Where 1.8 is the java version of your current JDK/JRE. Another way of doing this is adding a with the maven-compile-plugin as <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.2</version> <!-- or whatever current version --> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
