Solution

  • You have different java versions on Windows, Linux. More recent versions can only downgrade up to 1.6 but not 1.5. so I assume on your Linux is a JDK 11 while on your Windows a JDK 8 or less.

    However maven standard is still java 1.5, if you do not override it. Look into the other answer from @khmarbaise.

    maven takes Java 1.5 default even if JAVA_HOME is set to JDK11
