Compilation Failure

[Glenn G]

I'm trying to install DSpace 6.3 on an Amazon Linux server (kernel 4.14) running Tomcat 7.  Following step 7 in the instructions, where I enter "mvn package -Dmirage2.on=true", the build fails with the error messages below.  Can anyone suggest a fix?

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.5.1:compile (default-compile) on project dspace-api: Compilation failure: Compilation failure:

 I initially encountered the same error while I installed DSpace too. But a big thanks to Mahesh Palamuttath who bailed me out.
To solve this problem you just need to follow this step.

STEP 1.
Execute the command below
update-alternatives --config java

STEP 2.
Kindly select openjdk-8 as default

The second one will be openjdk-8

STEP 3.
Then re-run maven using
mvn -U package

Your Build will become successful.

Best regards.
