Fatal error compiling: release version 17 not supported


I have a problem when executing mvn clean package

Whenever I try to compile my project with Maven, the ouput is the following:

I've tried changing the jdk selected in IntelliJ, checking the JAVA_HOME and PATH, and I still cant compile the code.

Here's the pom.xml
