Eclipse + Maven: force Execution Environment “JavaSE-1.6” instead of fixed JDK

Question

I\'m using Eclipse as IDE and Maven outside of it to keep all dependencies up to date and update the Eclipse-project as such. In Eclipse I usually specify the JRE system lib

Answer 1

You can do it by setting a classpath container.

    org.apache.maven.plugins
    maven-eclipse-plugin
    2.8
    
        
           
    org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6

• eclipse:eclipse Mojo > classpathContainers
