I think this two lines specify JDK 11.

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

I am using Java FX 16 and I compile a code with JDK 16.

When I've tried specify JDK 16:

<maven.compiler.source>16</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>16</maven.compiler.target>

I get this error message:

Caused by: java.lang.module.InvalidModuleDescriptorException: Unsupported major.minor version 60.0

P.S. This is the pom.xml: https://pastebin.com/raw/qTe5Vtnq

P.P.S According to logs, I compile and run via /usr/lib/jvm/java-16-openjdk/bin/java.

pom.xml maven java

Beyond JDK8, you need to specify the javac path of your JDK and you must set fork to true to get the code executed with mentioned compiler, in maven-compiler-plugin pom.xml file.

Here is the maven-compiler-plugin configuration,-

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <source>16</source>
        <target>16</target>
        <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
        <fork>true</fork>
        <executable>C:\Progra~1\Java\jdk-16.0.2\bin\javac</executable>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
