Maven Compile Error

Question

When I build and run my program in Netbeans, it works without a problem. But with same pom.xml file when I try \"mvn compile\" I get this error:

[ERROR] Fail         


        

Answer 1

It seems your maven java home point to a jre not jdk

Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre

You have to change it to a jdk.

Try java -version and see what is there

use /usr/sbin/alternatives --config java to change your java version.

Answer 2

It seems your maven compiler plugin version is 1.3.

Have a look at this link to force the compiler to run with JDK 1.7, http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/compile-using-different-jdk.html
