I'm trying to run maven build with java 6, but unfortunately I have one dependency in my pom file, that compiled with java 7.
Is it possible to fix without java upgrade?
Thanks.

No. If the lib requires Java 7 you have to install it – Jens Jun 15 '16 at 13:35

what is your java 7 dependency from the pom.xml ? – Sorin J Jun 15 '16 at 13:36

This attempt will fail at compile time. Even if it somehow passes the build, it will break when you run it. You either need to replace your Java 7 dependency with a Java 6 version, or upgrade to Java 7. – Tim Biegeleisen Jun 15 '16 at 13:37

Even if this dependency was compiled with java 7? – Developer87 Jun 15 '16 at 13:45

No. You can't. For dependencies which require java 7 to run, you must have at least java 7 in maven.

Simply wrong cause there is the possibility to use toolchain for that. – khmarbaise Jun 15 '16 at 14:00

You can configure Maven Toolchain to handle that. so you decouple the JDK version which is used for Maven from the one you need to compile your classes with and which the tests can be run with.
