> Defining maven.compiler.release prevents compilation with Java 8
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MCOMPILER-331
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-331
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Wish
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Reporter: mike duigou
> Assignee: Robert Scholte
> Priority: Major
>
> I am in the process of transitioning projects to be compatible with building
> on Java 9 and later. One of the steps is to supplement and eventually replace
> the properties we are using for source and target:
> {{<maven.compiler.source>8</maven.compiler.source>}}
> {{<maven.compiler.target>8</maven.compiler.target>}}
> with:
> {{<maven.compiler.release>8</maven.compiler.release>}}
> However, adding the additional property prevents compilation on Java 8 as it
> does not accept the --release option
> If the javac being used is Java 8 or older then the maven.compiler.release
> property should be ignored or translated in to -source 8 -target 8. This will
> make the transition from source/target to release easier.--
