Hi I apologize I'm kind of new to maven and I cant figure out how get the Maven Release plugin to work for a Java 8 project. I'm using version 2.5 (The maven compiler version is 3.1) . When i just use the compiler plugin and do a compile it works in fact i can use most of the other plugins like deploy etc but when i try to use the maven release plugin it get the following error, I'm running this in IntelliJ and the java_home and Maven runner are all configured to use 1.8, Also like i said if i directly execute the maven compiler plugin, it works fine
Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks Vijay The info the is spitted out Before the run /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java
