<\/h3>\n<\/h3>\nFix<\/h2>\n
The fix for the problem is to use the latest Java environment for the project: JDK 7 or Later version.<\/p>\n
Identify the JDK version installed on your machine or the IDE workspace’s version. Update the project build path with the latest library settings.<\/p>\n

Follow the below steps to avoid this error in the Maven project,<\/p>\n
\n- Check the Java compiler version. (Project-specific settings)<\/li>\n
- Workspace settings. (Configure Workspace settings)<\/li>\n
- Project build path.<\/li>\n
- Maven POM.xml<\/em> build file.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Examples<\/h3>\n
For example, to specify JDK 8 we can add the properties like the below to the POM.xml file:<\/p>\n
<span class="tag"><properties><\/span>\n <span class="tag"><maven.compiler.source><\/span><span class="pln">1.8<\/span><span class="tag"><\/maven.compiler.source><\/span>\n <span class="tag"><maven.compiler.target><\/span><span class="pln">1.8<\/span><span class="tag"><\/maven.compiler.target><\/span>\n<span class="tag"><\/properties><\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/h3>\nJDK 14<\/h3>\n
Change the Java compiler and the project build path. After the changes specify the JDK version in the POM.xml<\/em> Maven build file.<\/p>\nFor example, specify the JDK 14 to the Maven pom.xml.<\/p>\n
