mvn clean install
         


        

Answer 1

Doing this in pom.xml file and after updating the project, the problem is gone.

            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-compiler-plugin
            2.4
            
                1.8
                1.8

1. Update the pom.xml under .

2. Update your project.

3. Then clean maven and install maven.
