IntelliJ: Error: java: release version 10 not supported

Question

In IntelliJ, I\'m getting this strange error message when I try to build from the build menu

Error: java: release version 10 not supported

Answer 1

I got a similar error but did not use Maven.

Solved it by updating the IntelliJ configuration:

• File -> Settings-> Build, Execution, Development -> Compiler -> Java Compiler
• update Project bytecode version to 8
