Need help compiling DrivenByMoss

[ultratot]

Hi All,

Trying to compile the DrivenByMoss extension from the source code since there's a few minor things i want to tweak, but I'm getting compilation errors when i run the "mvn install" step. I should say i'm brand new to compiling code, although i did watch Moss's controller API Part IX on the subject, which more or less made sense and i'm simply trying to follow those steps with his extension. I verified java version is 1.8.0_291, mvn version 3.8.1, and so I proceeded with the compile, but i get an error saying:

"[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project DrivenByMoss: Compilation failure
[ERROR] javac: invalid target release: 12"

I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, but i'm too new at programming to know what it is. I was having some fun tweaking various javascript controller scripts and was looking forward to doing the same thing in java but am now dead in the water. Any insights are much appreciated.

Thanks.

You need JDK 12, like this one: https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html? ... =openjdk12
