How do you specify the Java compiler version in a pom.xml file?

by

maven-compiler-plugin it’s already present in plugins hierarchy dependency in pom.xml. Check in Effective POM.

For short you can use properties like this:

<properties>
   <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
   <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

I’m using Maven 3.2.5.
