Had the same problem on Windows. Tried the tips here, but didnt solved the problem. Only by changing the Java version in Eclipse to point to the Java 1.6 JDK instead of 1.6 JRE installation solved the problem (Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs, add JDK folder and tick the box).

Thank you very much! I was changing the JVM in the java tool in the Utility folder but nothing happened.

Dave I see. Generally I eliminate the IDE as a problem cause by switching to command line entirely and if it works then I know the IDE is at fault. Glad you found your solution. Merry Christmas! Isn’t it a bit of an odd time to be doing such things? I’m guilty of the same though :-)

Ahhh…found it. I’m using Intellij IDEA, and the “Maven Runner” preference was set to use an internal Javac …. switching that to use Java6 fixed my problem ;)

I’m pulling my hair out with this….I’ve double checked that my JAVA_HOME and PATH env vars are set up correctly, but I’m STILL getting the “Target 1.6 not supported” error. I want to use Java6 because I want to use the JAXB stuff without having to set up dependencies on these libraries in Maven under Java5.

Any other tips that you can recommend for me? (email response preferred :)
