Java.nio class errors

Hello,

This question is regarding the Maven workshop.

I am getting a lot of errors related to the Java.nio classes, Path and WatchService

Usage of API documented as @since 1.6+

How should this be changed for SDK 1.8+

Thanks, Chitra Sharathchadnra

I was having the same issue that you are. The way I was able to fix this was by adjusting the following setting in intellij:

File -> Project Structure -> Project Settings -> Modules -> "Your Module Name" -> Sources -> Language Level

and change that to the desired level i.e 1.8 or the Project Default language level.

Once I did this the error was fixed.

Thank you! I was changing it for all files and I only needed to change it for Main and then it worked.

You can also add this to the pom.xml

  <properties>
    <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
  </properties>
