You need to tell us more about your env. can you run mvn -v and paste the output here?

I can reproduce this with JDK7.

@daizhuzhu2007 if you're running that on the master branch, you should know that Spring Boot 2.0+ is JDK8+ only.

Thanks @bclozel

@daizhuzhu2007 I guess you are running with Java7. Master requires Java8 but, regardless, that build should not fail. I've created an issue in plexus-compiler to investigate what's going on with that change in maven-compiler-plugin.

[daizhuzhu2007]

yes, you are right, After I changed JDK from 7 to 8, this exception disappeared. Thank you!

[VasaviUppada]

My JDK is pointing to 8 . still im getting compilation error. Is there any work around ?

[Avinashachu007]

I'm also getting the error. I'm running on JDK 1.8 and I cant even package simple demo application as jar.

Please help.
