Ewa Śliwińska commented on MCOMPILER-375:
-----------------------------------------
Sorry, this time I just wanted to check if I can - Jira is saving automatically
;) I think I shouldn't be allowed to change the version. Although, I don't know
why you set it to 3.8 then.
> can't use release tag on Ubuntu

> I want to configure my Maven project to use Java 8.

> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
> <version>3.8.0</version>
> <configuration>

> into POM, and this works fine on Maven 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 with Java 10.
> But when I tried to compile it using Maven 3.5.4 on Windows 10 with Java 8,
> it says *invalid flag: --release*. I'm not sure when this tag was introduced,
> I have problems finding information about it.
