> Hey community, I have followed the instructions in the project documentation meticulously, including initializing and building sub modules, and ensuring that the Maven and Java versions align with the project requirements. However, I am encountering a persistent [issue](https://pastebin.com/GhPUV41S) during the build process, specifically related to the maven-compiler-plugin and the use of the --release flag. any idea on how to go about this will be helpful !! @Moses_Mutesasira @caseyi @thembo42

The solution is to point JAVA\_HOME to java 11.0.21 jdk path.
