Maven Project

Maven offers a more advanced jar building. It is possible to add multiple different build plugins but we will only use the maven-compiler-plugin.

The compiler plugin will compile the source code using source and target java version 8.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
            <configuration>
                <source>8</source>
                <target>8</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

To build the jar file we only need to run mvn clean install. The generated jar file is located in target folder.
