mvn building compilation error

Question

I've imported a maven project to intellij IDEA. Dependencies were successfully resolved. But when running the

    sudo mvn install

from terminal it gives this error.

  [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
  [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  [INFO] Compilation failure

Earlier I've imported this project into eclipse also. Then running mvn install from eclipse it gave a diffrent type of error.

right after that running the

 sudo mvn install 

from the terminal could get build successful. I don't understand the reason for this behavior. If there's a way to resolve the error getting in the first part of the question it would really help.

Answer 1

Please see Maven Compiler Plugin Documentation. Set the correct source and target levels. That should fix it.

Answer 2

Sound like Your compiler plugin configuration is not complete

Your Jdk level should be greater than 1.5

example pom.xml configuration

<plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.1</version>
        <configuration>
            <source>1.7</source>
            <target>1.7</target>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
