Maven error and javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter with jdk10

[alxxthegeek]

If you get the error
maven Source option 5 is no longer supported. Use 6 or later. [ERROR] Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. Use 1.6 or later.

Add the following to the properties
<maven.compiler.source>1.6</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.6</maven.compiler.target>

That fixes the problem for jdk8.

For jdk10
The example builds but gives a runtime exception
An exception occured while executing the Java class. null: InvocationTargetException: javax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter

as javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter is removed in JDK9 onwards
