[FIXED] Jenkins throws an exception: build step 'invoke top-level maven targets' marked build as failure

Issue

Jenkins throws the following error:

[WARNING] The requested profile "singleflow" could not be activated because it does not exist.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project factor-esb-autotest: Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 10 -> [Help 1]

My POM https://pastebin.com/xeb5Mpcb

At first I thought that the error was due to the fact that in the jenkins global settings the version does not match the plugin (3.8.1), I set it to "Install from Apach" 3.8.1 but it still does not work. What could be the reason ?

Maven in global setting

Solution

There must be a configuration for maven-compiler-plugin (<release>10</release>) or a property like <maven.compiler.release>10</maven.compiler.release>

The commented upgrade of JUnit is unrelated to the problem.

Apart from that such information that you have update pom should be part of the question up-front
