Java Error - lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.5 (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)

Question

I am trying to build a Kafka Streams Application that uses lambda expressions.

My maven build configuration is mvn clean install

When I do RunAs > Maven build, I get the following error:

[ERROR] COMPILATION ERROR : 
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] /home/junaid/eMumba/StreamsExample/streams.examples/src/main/java/myapps/Pipe.java:[53,38] lambda expressions are not supported in -source 1.5
  (use -source 8 or higher to enable lambda expressions)

In Java Build Path I have JRE System Library [JavaSE 1.8].

In Preferences > Java > Installed JREs I have java-8-openjdk

This is my pom.xml:

I have added the org.apache.maven.plugins: maven-compiler-plugin dependency at the end.

What can I do to resolve this?

It looks like, for whatever reason, your build is picking up on a JDK 5. Can you tell us what your JAVA_HOME is set to? — Tim Biegeleisen

Try to add the source and target version to your pom:

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.7.0</version>
    <configuration>
      <source>1.8</source>
      <target>1.8</target>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

See https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html

Use this pom.xml. Specify the source and target versions for maven-compiler-plugin.

</dependencies>

I was trying to add source and target under configuration tag but It kept giving me error. But I was doing that under dependencies tag. So that was the problem.
