Maven build failed with "Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 1.8 -> [Help 1]"

The below build failed error popped-up  when I try to build (use mvn clean install) the project with Maven.

Error log:

INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
INFO] BUILD FAILURE

:compile (default-compile) on project dpc-portal: Fatal error compiling: invalid
 target release: 1.8 -> [Help 1]
ERROR]

The reason was, I set JAVA_HOME to the JDK 1.7 (as in below image) but try to build using JDK 1.8. So after change the JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.8 version, project was built successfully.
