Maven compiler error for invalid target java

Maven compiler error for invalid target java


 Some time you may see following error during maven compilation 
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:compile (default-compile) on project metamarket: Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 1.8 or 1.7 or 1.6 -> [Help 1]


This error is because, you system is set to use different version as default and source and target configuration is also set accordingly.




example -> You configuration in pom says to use default at 1.7 and you are tying to compile the code with java 1.8


You may need to add the right version in source and target to fix this. Here is the entry for pom.xml










<build>

    <plugins>

      <plugin>

          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

          <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>

          <version>3.1</version>

          <configuration>

              <source>1.8</source>

              <target>1.8</target>

          </configuration>

      </plugin>

    </plugins>

  </build>

Please change the source and target version according to your setup and need depending on your configuration.

Colour formatting - Jenkins Console




















Image







  Jenkins is the main CI tool used in Software industry. This is the backbone tool for all CI and CD implementation, Build - release and deployment methods. With the help of 100s of plugin available around the jenkins, We can achieve so much of automation around build process including build/deployment pipeline, notification, analysis, pre and post build action etc.   Jenkins has tremendous power to perform great amount of work around the core build process. Many time we write script in pre and post build action to perform many tasks which is becoming very command and necessary for automation.   But the main limitation in running shell script is that it's very difficult to make it more human readable for errors and make it fancy.   Today i am going to cover some steps to make the output of shell script colour formatted.    Jenkins Configuration Steps    First install following jenkins plugin   https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/AnsiColor+Plugin    Go to jenkins configurati

Manage Docker images on local disk





















    Docker is very powerful containerization technique, and it is becoming famous in short time.   People are adapting and containerizing their applications for deployment.      Soon container become very heavy and consume too much of disk space, If you do not delete old images and layers you may soon run out of disk space.   Here i am trying to cover the ways to regain the disk space consumed by docker images.   Moving docker filesystem to bigger mount point.    Usually docker keeps all temporary files related to image building and layers at /var/lib/docker   This path is local to the system usually at root partition "/" .   You can mount a bigger disk space and move the content of /var/lib/docker  to the new mount location and make sym link.    This way even docker images occupy space, will not affect  your system as it will be using some other mount location.      Remove Old docker images    Here are few ways to remove old and unused docker images   Removing stopped contai
