Error:java: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError com.sun.tools.javac.code.TypeTags when trying to run maven

I'm new to maven but I would like to use it to run simple deeplearing4j program. After adding all the necessary dependencies I get the following:

Error:java: release version 5 not supported

After following the instructions at this page (changing my SDK, language and target byte code to 11)

I'm getting this:

Error:java: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
com.sun.tools.javac.code.TypeTags
Error:java: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

I've also tried setting JDK 14 but I get the same error. Here is my pom.xml file:

If anybody can shed some light on what I might be doing wrong here I would appreciate it.

Solution

  • This is wrong.

    <maven.compiler.source>1.11</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.11</maven.compiler.target>

    Post Java 1.9, the version naming has changed. Make the following changes in the pom.xml.

    <maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>

    The same convention follows from 10+ Java version.

    The real issue is: one of library org.deeplearning4j:deeplearning4j-core:jar:0.9.1:compile this jar having a dependency on org.projectlombok:lombok:jar:1.16.16:compile.

    So this was an issue with Lombok which they fixed in a later version. To see all transitive dependencies you can do a mvn dependency:tree and see all transitive dependencies of the libraries you have brought in.

    I have included the below dependency in the pom and that resolved the issue.

    <dependency>
  <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
  <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
  <version>1.18.2</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
