<maven.compiler.source>11</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>11</maven.compiler.target>

Thanks a ton! was trying to figure it out for long. Step 4 worked for me as I installed visual studio 2022 and that updated the java jdk version to 11.0 and that created the exception issue. Post removing the same from the environmental variables issue got fixed.
