I tried to find solution on stackoverflow but for now I still get same error

Other solution that I've found involves other type of IDE

Edit: I'm using apache.maven.3.8.1
Install Java 1.8 (JDK) and configure JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the installation home of this Java version. You may need to logout/login or reboot for the environment variable change to have effect.
Maven will use it for compilation and will be able to target 1.6 version.
Java 11+ versions no longer support 1.6 target.
In IntelliJ IDEA it can be controlled here:
