sorangutan

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Compiler Plugin, version 3.8.1.

The Compiler Plugin is used to compile the sources of your project.

Important Notes since Version 3.8.1

The default value for source/target has been lifted from 1.5 to 1.6 see MCOMPILER-335.

You should specify the version in your project’s plugin configuration:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.8.1</version>
</plugin>

Bugs:

MCOMPILER-306 – Incorrect compilerArgs example usage
MCOMPILER-349 – maven-compiler-plugin does not recompile a module if a dependency module has been updated & recompiled
MCOMPILER-360 – NPE when calculating modulepath with invalid entries
MCOMPILER-379 – Fatal error compiling: basedir … arget/generated-sources/annotations does not exist

Improvements:

MCOMPILER-322 – Set the JPMS module version
MCOMPILER-366 – Warning about automodules should provide the list of offending libraries

Enjoy,
