Answer 1

This configuration worked for me, for java 11. (IntelliJ version 2019.1) java.version is 11, declared in the properties part of the pom.xml. Maven version should be 3.6 or higher.

            org.apache.maven.plugins
            maven-compiler-plugin
            3.8.0
            
                false
                ${java.version}
                ${java.version}
                UTF-8
                
                    -parameters
                
                ${java.version}
                true

                    none

                    compile
                    
                        compile
