Just a small hint. For JDK9+ you have to use
9or10etc. instead of1.Xcause1.Xdoes not exist for JDK9+.So for JDK13 you have to use
13instead of1.13...Thank you!

Sorry for my bad english.
Thanks for this fixed, your topic help me very much.
Thank you Angie so much!!! I loved your tips, my problem was on the pom.xml
Wow works magically!
Maven by default always targets JRE 5. You should always configure the correct Java version as you have shown in the pom.xml
The third option worked. Thank you!
New to Maven, and this indeed bit me. Changing the targeted release in the POM file un-confused Intellij (per your option 3) -- thank you!
Adding maven properties helped! Thanks for this article Angie :D
Yeah I had the same problem, Why don't the ItelliJ just add these things by itself.
Android studio is so nice to work with everything is auto.
