Maven build failure at compilation for lambda expression using java 9

Question

I am building a sample for maven spring boot, using java 9, getting compilation error while doing clean package using maven build plugin.

java build path : selected JRE 9
Java compiler : Enabled Project specific settings (selected as 9)
Eclipse preferences : Java -> Installed JRE -> Selected JRE 9
Run Configuration : Workplace default JRE (selected java 9)

Don't know from where maven is picking 1.6

pom.xml

Can you share your pom.xml?

Since you don't specify the maven-compiler-plugin explicitly, it's definition is taken from your project's parent's, spring-boot-starter-parent.

The maven-compiler-plugin's version there is defined by the ${java.version} property which you've attempted to override, but unfortunately had a typo - you set java.ersion instead of java.version (note the missing v). Thus, the plugin's default of 1.6 is used. Just fix the typo, and you should be fine:

<java.version>1.9</java.version>
