How to make IntelliJ use Java 8 for a Maven module instead of Java 11 at language level 8?
I have a multi-module Maven project where sources are written for Java 8 and tests for Java 11. I have both installed on my machine and made known to the IDE's.
When imported in Eclipse the source modules are connected with a Java 8 environment bound to a Java 8 JVM, and the test modules with a Java 8 environment bound to a Java 11 JVM as described by the maven-compiler-plugin settings.
When imported in IntelliJ all modules are uncritically assigned the Java 11 Project SDK and the language level is set to either 8 or 11 as described by the maven-compiler-plugin settings.
I would like for IntelliJ to behave like Eclipse (or at least I think I do) to ensure that the environment as seen from the IDE is exactly as it will be when deployed.
How do I tell IntelliJ to do this?

IDE does not use Maven configuration when set the JDKs for modules - so you can just set the JDK for each module individually: Change module SDK.

@Andrey I found the same. Do you know if this can be made the default behavior of the Maven importer?
