Re: javac: invalid target release: 1.7

2012-04-30 Thread Thorsten Heit
Hi,

 Mac OS X version 10.7.3
 java -version
 java version 1.6.0_31
 
 Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 21:16:01+0200)
 (because required by project I want to build)
 
 The project I want to build is:
 http://code.google.com/p/cmake-maven-project/source/browse/
 
 The error I am getting when running mvn install is:
 
 
 [ERROR] Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error:
 javac: invalid target release: 1.7
 Usage: javac options source files
 use -help for a list of possible options
 
 I can't upgrade to java 1.7 (if this is the cause of the error).

Yup. A compiler target 1.7 means Java 7 is needed for successful 
compilation.


 Are there
 other means to fix this?

Install Oracle's recently released Java 7 port for MacOS X on your machine 
:-)


HTH

This error message comes directly from javac and means Maven tried to
call me with -target 1.7 but I can't do that. This is not a Maven
error but merely being reported by Maven.

Upgrade to JDK7 on Mac and you should have no such issues. Or change
the code so it does not require JDK7 and change the pom.xml
configuration.
