General issue:create java project database failed

[Maskhe]

This is all error information I got，the target project is log4j2：

but I can create database for other java projects except the above-mentioned project

Hi @Maskhe,

The database directory should contain some log files created during the failed build, could you share those?

[Maskhe]

@jketema Thanks for your help：

It`s my fault, the log4j2 project require maven use jdk11, but my command line maven uses jdk8 (IDEA maven uses jdk11,so I dont figure it out)， just set my command line maven jdk version to jdk11 fixs above-mentioned error. Thanks to @jketema again!
