Apache Maven Compiler Plugin Version 3.6.1 Released

The Apache Maven team is pleased to announce the release of the Apache Maven Compiler Plugin, version 3.6.1.

The Compiler Plugin is used to compile the sources of your project.

Attention: Starting with version 3.5, the maven-compiler-plugin requires Maven 3 and won't work with Maven 2 anymore.

You should specify the version in your project's plugin configuration:

1<plugin>
2  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
3  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
4  <version>3.6.1</version>
5</plugin>

Most important change is the support for test-compile when using JDK 9 build b148+
