It is no problem if you have installed multiple JVMs, maven only knows about the current java version used to start it or if you explicitly specify executables or toolchains. (Some POMs like Apache Commons defines profiles using environment variables like JAVA_1_8_HOME) Anyway, on your system you can test it, if you do not specify source or target versions it will default to the start-jvm (which is not good for having stable and repeatable builds) Gruss Bernd -- http://bernd.eckenfels.net

I've got Java 7, 8 and 9 on my machine so can't easily test myself.
