How to set specific Java version to Maven?

Maven uses the JAVA_HOME parameter to find which Java version it is supposed to run. I see from your comment that you can’t change that in the configuration.

  • You can set the JAVA_HOME parameter just before you start maven (and change it back afterwards if need be).
  • You could also go into your mvn(non-windows)/mvn.bat/mvn.cmd(windows) and set your java version explicitly there.
