build maven project without setting compiler source and target

So as I just got new into using Netbeans someone on its list explained 
me, that it's just a gui wrapper around maven and it's adviced to get 
the basics of maven to correctly use netbeans.
Ok, so as I just used a simple editor and a terminal it didn't mattered 
wich version I compiled with or for in the past as I ran the class with 
the same vm I compiled them with. So, the I thought I could just ommit 
the setting - but maven just fails with an error that no source/target 
version was specified. So I had them re-add by re-apply the project 
settings.
Is there a way I could tell the compiler plugin just to ignore the 
version but also to ignore if it's missing and just compile it with 
whatever version I ran maven with?
It's basically: I use different systems all with different jdk installed 
- so when just clone the most recent version from github I always have 
to set the correct version manual as netbeans doesn't seem to be handle 
that by itself - and I could find an option to just get rid of it at 
all.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

You obviously use an older version of maven-compiler-plugin that still 
defaults to Java 5. In that case this error is expectable as Java 11 
doesn't support compiling for Java 5 anymore.
The actual version 3.8.1 of m-compiler-p (see [1]) defaults to Java 6 as 
source and target for the compiler. I suggest you upgrade your pom.xml to 
that version.

Anyway, I recommend you pin the version of each used plugin in your 
pom.xml. Otherwise you may get different results if you upgrade Maven, the 
JVM, use another OS and so on.

Normally an IDE should respect what you have configured in your pom.xml when you execute a Maven build. Therefore I still assume that you don’t have specified what exact version of m-compiler-p you’d like to use. And that you don’t have configured source and target in m-compiler-p, i.e. you use the default parameters which - according to your mail - are an older version of Maven‘s compiler plugin and/or no source/target version set.

Can you show us a minimal sample?

Guess I just set it to 8, as that's the oldest jdk/vm I still have lay 
around, and don't bother anymore about it.
Thanks for your replies and time anyway.

Re: build maven project without setting compiler source and target

Posted by Thomas Broyer <t....@gmail.com>.
You seem to mistake the version of the JDK you're using with the version of
the Java language that your source files are written in and the JRE they
depend on (in terms of available API).
You can very well compile Java 8 sources with a JDK 11 or 13.
If you share your project between machines where you don't control the JDK,
then you'll want to make sure you never use something in your code that
won't be available in another machine, so you'll actually *want* to set a
source value (for example, you work on a machine with JDK 11 and start
using Optional#isEmpty; then switch to a machine with JDK 8, your code
won't compile)

So:

   - set a source/target value to the minimum version of the JDK you want
   to support (if you have machines with JDK 8, then use source=8)
   - optional but recommended: use 'release' rather than 'source' (if
   you'll only ever have JDK 9+, then just use 'release'; if you'll have JDK
   8, then you'll need to setup a profile to only use 'release' on JDK 9+, and
   use 'source' otherwise); this will make sure that not only you won't ever
   use language constructs from newer Java versions (e.g. private methods in
   interfaces) but will also validate that you won't attempt to use an API
   that's not available in that version (as in the Optional#isEmpty example
   above)

Re: build maven project without setting compiler source and target

Posted by ja...@cryptearth.de.
Sorry for the late reply, but I did some testing to make sure it wasn't 
me made a stupid mistake.
So, when I clone my current repo and execute an "mvn compile" or "mvn 
package" on it without messing around with the pom either all works fine 
or I get a failure because the set version is higher than what'S 
available on the current system. If I manual change the version to match 
what the system has installed all works fine again (terminal and 
Netbeans).
But when I remove the source and target from the pom I get this error 
(same when using a terminal as when using Netbeans):

cd C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\NetBeansProjects\YouTubeLiveChat;

[Help 1] 
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/MojoFailureException

 From what I was able to find this is because the hardcoded default value 
wich is used when no other setting is found in pom in the compiler 
plugin is version 5. As the error message says, this is no longer 
supported and 6 or higher should be used. I didn'T filed a bug report 
cause it's possible that there're version mismatches wich may cause this 
- I'm not sure about that.
So, as I don't want to set a fixed value (maybe would be 8 if I have to) 
I would rather prefer to disable this settings at all and just let it 
compile with what ever version the system has a JDK of. Or, if it's not 
possible to complete throw it out is there at least a way to not just 
set a specific version but rather only a minimum? So, that a system wich 
has only J8 can use this, but other system with 9, 11, 13 won'T be 
enforced to compile v8 but with their own version?

As I also mentioned else where: I thought IDEs and all their build stuff 
is supposed to make developing easier - but I had so many issues I 
encountered since I started to use it a few days ago I really though of 
go back to basic editor and terminal - wich seems easier (side-note 
about dependency management: yes, sure, it's nice to have a build system 
handle it for you, but as I'm used to gather libs and dependencies 
myself, and many often come in bundles, and manage different and 
matching versions by myself, I got a rather big lib collection used by 
just point my system wide classpath to the lib directory).

So, any thoughts about how to solve that issue? I'm honestly kind of 
lost, not just using Netbeans as a gui wrapper (as one of its devs 
called it on their list) but also get my head around maven as the build 
environment).

Thanks for any help in advance,

Matt

Re: build maven project without setting compiler source and target

Posted by Bernd Eckenfels <ec...@zusammenkunft.net>.
Can you show the actual error message and give a concrete project? Normally Maven works with not specifying target/source as long as your JDK is recent enough. (But it's not ways a good idea, it's better to specify the properties (IDEs normally read them)

Betreff: build maven project without setting compiler source and target

So as I just got new into using Netbeans someone on its list explained
me, that it's just a gui wrapper around maven and it's adviced to get
the basics of maven to correctly use netbeans.
Ok, so as I just used a simple editor and a terminal it didn't mattered
wich version I compiled with or for in the past as I ran the class with
the same vm I compiled them with. So, the I thought I could just ommit
the setting - but maven just fails with an error that no source/target
version was specified. So I had them re-add by re-apply the project
settings.
Is there a way I could tell the compiler plugin just to ignore the
version but also to ignore if it's missing and just compile it with
whatever version I ran maven with?
It's basically: I use different systems all with different jdk installed
- so when just clone the most recent version from github I always have
to set the correct version manual as netbeans doesn't seem to be handle
that by itself - and I could find an option to just get rid of it at
all.

Thanks in advance,

Matt
