STS4 Java version Maven Simple Configuration

 STS4 Java version Maven Simple Configuration

1 .- Create a New Maven Project

    

2.- Create a java program for java 8

By default the JRE System Library y set to J2SE-1.5, and the code complains because this is not compatible, so in the pom we can specify the java version. 

One modified the pom, update the pom, the result is the JRE System Library node change to JavaSE-1.8, and the code stop complain.

Now test the code selecting the class and run as application.

From terminal (Windows -> Show View -> Terminal -> click on icon open terminal

and type mvn clean compile.

Now, modify the pom to specify the output to jar file, and the details for Manifest.
