How to write Github workflow for JDK 17


This is the current Github for JDK 11 and works fine. I have migrated my project to JDK 17. It works fine locally but breaks in Github workflows. I don't know how can I fix it?

.github\workflows\docker-publish.yml:-

name: Docker

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]
    # Publish semver tags as releases.
    tags: [ 'v*.*.*' ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ master ]

env:
  # Use docker.io for Docker Hub if empty
  REGISTRY: ghcr.io
  # github.repository as <account>/<repo>
  IMAGE_NAME: ${{ github.repository }}
  TAG: 'latest'
    
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write
      # This is used to complete the identity challenge
      # with sigstore/fulcio when running outside of PRs.

    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        
      - name: Cache local Maven repository
        uses: actions/cache@v2

Solution

  • You are using Maven compiler plugin version 3.8.1, which was released in May 2019 for Java 17, which was released in September 2021. Make sure that you use the newest Maven Compiler plugin and that you specify the correct Java release in its configuration setting in pom.xml.

    <project>
      [...]
      <properties>
        <maven.compiler.release>17</maven.compiler.source>
      </properties>
      [...]
    </project>
    

    Or like this:

    <project>
        [...]
        <build>
            [...]
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                    <version>3.10.1</version>
                    <configuration>
                        <release>17</source>
                    </configuration>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
            [...]
        </build>
        [...]
    </project>
    

    Source: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/set-compiler-source-and-target.html

    You also don't specify the Java version in your workflow, the GitHub actions Maven starter workflow specifies it like this:

    name: Java CI
    
    on: [push]
    
    jobs:
      build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
        steps:
          - uses: actions/checkout@v3
          - name: Set up JDK 17
            uses: actions/setup-java@v3
            with:
              java-version: '17'
              distribution: 'adopt'
          - name: Build with Maven
            run: mvn --batch-mode --update-snapshots package
    

    Otherwise you are using whatever Java version is the default in the GitHub runner you are using and as you are not pinning down the version but instead use ubuntu:latest, this may not be the one you want and even change over time.
