Issue with JRE System Library version in Eclipse IDE | Together Java | Page 1

I had java 8 installed and everything was fine. Recently I upgraded to java 21 .
In Eclipse, after selecting the relevant jdk version (i.e jdk 21) for the JRE system library & java compiler, whenever I hit "Maven Update" it changes back to Java version 1.8.

I got a workaround by using these tags:

<maven.compiler.target>21</maven.compiler.target>```
inside `<properties></properties>` tag in pom.xml

The workaround is alright. All I want to know is if I can somehow resolve the issue with the IDE without using these tags?

You should use maven.compiler.release.

glacial vigil You should use `maven.compiler.release`.

Well okay will do.
What about these two tags

<maven.compiler.target>21</maven.compiler.target>```
Do they do the same job?

It works as well, nice.
