I want to use Java 1.6 in Maven but 3.3.9 version is not capable of it. I am using Eclipse Mars and Maven 3.3.9 but don't want that because it doesn't support Java 1.6 so I have to degrade my Maven version.

    Window-> preferernces. Type maven in the filter and choose installations – kimy82 Aug 03 '17 at 12:20

    Why would you want to do that? "Java 6 reached the end of its supported life in February 2013". Time to upgrade. JDK 8 is current production, and JDK 9 is on the way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_version_history#Java_SE_6 – duffymo Aug 03 '17 at 12:21

  • Maven is capable of using JDK 6 if you need. But you have to go via [Maven Toolchains](https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-using-toolchains.html). Using JDK 6 in Eclipse is another thing... – khmarbaise Aug 03 '17 at 13:11

From eclipse, you can go to Preferences->Maven->Installations. Click the Add button and put in your 3.2.5 install, then click it as the default and try building that way.
