vim src/main/java/Hello.java ❷

first> mvn compile ...
[WARNING] File encoding has not been set, using platform encoding UTF-8, ❸
    i.e. build is platform dependent! ...
[ERROR] error: Source option 5 is no longer supported. ❹ Use 6 or later.
[ERROR] error: Target option 1.5 is no longer supported. ❺ Use 1.6 or later.

❶	Create an empty folder designated for hosting Java™ sources. See Figure 628, “Maven project layout ” for reference.
❷	Create an executable «Hello,world ...» class: `public class Hello { public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println("Hello!"); }`
❸	Ask Maven for execution of the «compile» phase.
❹	We have not yet specified an encoding on project level. Thus two platforms using different encoding may provide different artifact outcomes.
❺	The world has moved: Java™ 1.5 compilers are outdated.
