Java error Compilation failure Source option 5 is no longer supported

Java and Maven - Packaging Manager

This is a very common error for a beginner java for the first-time using maven. When you are compiling your Java application using Maven dependency management version 3.6. The following error will occur.

- Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile (default-compile) on project java-test: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

- Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later.

- Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.


The solution is pretty simple, you just have to make sure you are using Java version 6 or higher. Then place this configuration in your pom xml.


    <properties>

        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>

        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>

    </properties>


Now you can execute this following maven command on your project application, using maven commands to package your project into a jar like the following.

mvwn clean package


This quick solution is working in my case, it demonstrates the possible ways of setting Maven build to specifying Java version target and Java version source.


If you have your project, you need to compile to a certain version of Java rather than what you are currently using. The javac from JDK can accept such parameters which are -source and -target. You configure that parameter on your maven pom.xml, then it will be applied during the compilation.


Example given if you want to use Java 11 language features then set the parameter -source 1.8, then if you want the compiled classes to be compatible with JVM 1.8 set the command -target 1.8. Both can be combined or if you leave it empty it will use the default java version set by the maven version you are using.


If you are working on a Spring Boot application then you can use a fancier type in the properties <java.version>. But specifying maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target properties should be the best option.

MySQL and MariaDB password As already mentioned in the title of this blog, this error message sometimes occurred when we are trying to update our root password database, either MySQL or MariaDB, The error says: ERROR 1348 (HY000): Column 'Password' is not updatable This is because if we use this SQL command to update our database root password, and it turn out to be Restricted by MySQL to use update on mysql database. UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('1234') WHERE User='root'; The solutions for MySQL Error1348 So you can not update a user password using Update commands, to update the password, use ALTER commands instead. like the following. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '1234'; And then you need to do the flush privileges to commit previous queries (that alter command above) into the system, simply do like this. flush privileges; So now you have your root with password 1234. Although it is recommended to

Reactive Spring Logo This is maybe a very simple task, but for those of you that may not be familiar with WebFlux found it difficult to create a Rest API that handles upload and download in Reactive spring application. Create the skeleton Spring project Create a new project, go to start.spring.io , on the dependencies section, add Spring Reactive Web. Generate and extract it into your desired project location. Instead of using spring-boot-starter-web, use spring-boot-starter-webflux instead in your pom.xml. Here’s the pom.xml for our Reactive Rest API project. Create our Rest controller Now that you have set to use WebFlux instead of the usual web, we have to change a little bit in the Controller class that handles the API endpoints. It doesn’t change much but you have to wrap the Response in Mono and the request parameter to FilePart. So our upload and download file controller will look like this. Create utility to handle file upload We need to structure our project better, so we cr

Spring Kafka - how to use ReplyingKafkaTemplate send and reply synchronously

Microservice Spring with Apache Kafka Kafka is an asynchronous messaging queuing system, but when you have a case in your project that you need to have the result immediately from another service you can do that quite easily. Kafka from the client side produces a message to the server side, then waiting for the server to return back the message exactly what the client wants. It’s identified in the kafka header request named KafkaHeaders.CORRELATION_ID and a topic where the server should send. If the server side produces the same correlation id to the same topic in the request, then the client side will catch that message as its reply. Although you can work with kafka from a different framework and language other than Java and Spring. Here’s in this example i just specifically giving the example of sending and replying kafka messages using Spring Boot. The Project Overview The client-project will send a string message to the server-project over kafka, then the server-project wil
