Maven force a specific Java version while having a main class
I want my code to compile under Java 8 or above.
But to use so, as far as I understand, I have to use compiler plugin.
However I want my final JAR to be executed, which I can tell the main class.
It seems an option in JAR plugin. So how can I use both?

You can use multiple maven plugins together, each of them doing a different job. You can specify version like below:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.0</version>
<configuration>
<source>${jdk.version}</source>
<target>${jdk.version}</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
You can't create runnable jar using maven-jar-plugin. To do so, you'll need maven-assembly-plugin or maven-shade-plugin.

@khmarbaise It was just an example. You can reference a new version or don't specify it and maven will pick latest(not recommended though)
