2. 解决方案

我这的问题的原因是在Maven使用的Java和工程使用的Java版本问题，全局环境变量设置的Java版本为Java 11，而IDEA设置的是Java8，Maven配置是

<properties>
    <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    <maven.compiler.source>${java.version}</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>${java.version}</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <source>${maven.compiler.source}</source>
                <target>${maven.compiler.target}</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

修改项目的JDK版本，修改环境变量中的Java版本就能解决该问题。
