if you can build, and I cant, it could be anything. I may have been given a bad or wrong quickstart.jar, I may have a version of java which it doesnt work for, I my require an undocumented setting in eclipse, it may be different versions of the wknd project (I had no idea where to get it from so took a complete guess). I followed the tutorial to the letter, although it has several missing steps and critical missing information.

ok, tried the updated pom with 1.8, same error. So I switched back to java 11 on the command line, JAVA_HOME, eclipse defautl JDK and the JDK for the run config.Now it gets further but fails with this:[WARNING] The requested profile "autoinstallPackage" could not be activated because it does not exist. [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-enforcer-plugin:3.0.0-M3:enforce (enforce-checksum-of-immutable-files) on project aem-guides-wknd.dispatcher.cloud: Some Enforcer rule...

interestingly, this is whats in there now: org.apache.maven.plugins maven-compiler-plugin 1.8 org.apache.maven.plugins maven-compiler-plugin 3.8.1 I do have java 11 installed, but I dont know how maven knows where to get it from, as I had to switch from java 11 to java 8 to get the publisher to work.you are suggesting I add "source" and "target", but currently it only has "release". Also, the artifact is in the pom twice.

Thanks for the reply. I already imported this directory and eclipse picks up all the pom files, and this is what gives that missing clean error. Which file shall I edit to set the compiler??
