Can it happens becouse I have rong java_home point to jdk8? I tried to rewrite JAVA_HOME to right path in Intellij, but without sucess. Also tried to change <java.version> in pom file, but it also fails. Thank for help.

You need maven to target to JDK 11. What does `mvn -version` ouput? — Nikolai Shevchenko, Mar 28 '22 at 13:53

You are not using a JDK 11 to build your project `invalid target release: 11`... — khmarbaise, Mar 28 '22 at 14:12

In IntelliJ you can set the JDK version per project at: Project Structure -> Project Setting -> Project -> Project SDK

If you run Maven from within IntelliJ, it will pick-up the project SDK.

Cannot switch maven build to java 11
