Migrating Maven from Java 9 to Java 10 fails on maven-compiler-plugin

Question

Trying to migrate Maven from Java 9 to Java 10 produces errors in the pom.xml ,the maven-compiler-plugin doesn't work :

Java 9 Configuration (works more than great):

<plugin>                                               
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>        
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>     
    <version>3.7.0</version>                           
    <configuration>                                    
        <source>1.9</source>                           
        <target>1.9</target>                           
        <release>9</release>                           
        <executable>javac9</executable>                
        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>                     
    </configuration>                                   
</plugin>

Java 10 Configuration ( fails ) based on this stackoverflow question:

<plugin>

        <release>10</release>

    </configuration>                                                       
    <dependencies>

            <version>6.1.1</version> <!-- Use newer version of ASM -->     
        </dependency>                                                      
    </dependencies>

@nitnamby 3.5.3 latest Maven Version https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi and using ``Eclipse Photon M6 latest version`` — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 15:40
@nitnamby Yes exactly :) For Java 10 it produces the same error ```Fatal error compiling: release version 10 not supported``` did you run it and it works ? How is this possible ... i am confused . — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 15:46
@nitnamby Only one 3.5.3 , currently checking if it is an Eclipse Problem , changing to Eclipse Oxygen.3 to see :) — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 15:54
if you get the same issue when you run it outside eclipse then changing eclipse version won't help — nitnamby, Apr 24 '18 at 15:57
@nitnamby Everything ok with Eclipse Oxygen.3 it supports Java 10 by default , i tried this answer also from StackOverflow -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49436841/how-to-set-up-java-10-in-eclipse-oxygen . It doesn't works . — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 15:58
@nitnamby I think i see where is the problem , i have multiple java versions on the Machine ``Java 8,9,10`` a ``mvn -version``` returns ```Java version: 9.0.4, vendor: Oracle Corporation``` hm gonna see how i can change it accordingly . — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 15:59
@nitnamby Yes i missed it , searching how to use different Java version for each mvn call , beacause i am using all ```Java 8 , Java 9 and Java 10 for different Maven Projects``` — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 16:02
Your build does not correctly use JDK 10...it uses (assumption) JDK 9....either you correctly configure JAVA_HOME or your start using toolchains to correctly handle that... — khmarbaise, Apr 24 '18 at 16:53
@khmarbaise Thanks currently reading Maven toolchains tutorials and gonna add an answer here :) — GOXR3PLUS, Apr 24 '18 at 17:15
