I am trying to specify another version of JDK in maven-compiler-plugin. When -target and -source parameters are set to 1.5, everything is ok. But when i try to use 1.6 JDK, maven reports an error. Has anyone faced this problem?

Error:

Failure executing javac, but could not parse the error:
javac: invalid flag: -s
Usage: javac
where possible options include:
-g Generate all debugging info
-g:none Generate no debugging info

Thanks.

    If you use 1.6 flag your JAVA_HOME should point to JDK 1.6.

    Check it with java -version on a command line.

    To define your JAVA_HOME do this:

    Add to your ~/.bashrc this line:

    export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
