Gitlab CI/CD Error: release version 14 not supported

Question

I have a Micronaut application. While building CI/CD workflow, I get an error while running ./mvnw verify. Locally it works without any issue.

The same gitlab-ci.yml file works with another app using Spring Boot, but I don’t see why would it be complaining about the Java version when I’m using openjdk14 in both project.

My gitlab-ci.yml:

variables:
  MAVEN_OPTS: "-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2 -Dmaven.repo.local=$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.m2/repository -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.log.org.apache.maven.cli.transfer.Slf4jMavenTransferListener=WARN -Dorg.slf4j.simpleLogger.showDateTime=true -Djava.awt.headless=true"
  MAVEN_CLI_OPTS: "--batch-mode --errors --fail-at-end --show-version -DinstallAtEnd=true -DdeployAtEnd=true"

    - run

    dependencies:
        - docker-push     
    script:
        - ssh root@$DEPLOYMENT_SERVER_IP "./restart"

it fails with

50653 [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project dev.amatos.restcountries: Fatal error compiling: error: release version 14 not supported -> [Help 1]

Am I missing something?
