Description
The Maven spring-boot:build-image
goal and Gradle bootBuildImage
task attempt to detect the target Java version for the build and set an environment variable on the CNB builder to instruct buildpacks to install the same Java version. This should be documented in the build plugin documentation.
The Maven plugin first looks for configuration of the maven-compiler-plugin
with a target
version:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
If that is not found, it looks for a compiler target property:
<properties>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
The Gradle plugin uses a Gradle API, which exposes the value of the targetCompatibility
property of the Java plugin.
