When running mvn clean package on a fresh clone I get the following error:

I bet you are using a fairly new Java. I bet using JRE 8 will work for you.

Anyway, Java 6 is archaic, there's no reason for us to support it anymore.

Released the version 2.0 which requires Java 8 now.

The release of new version solved the problem. Thanks!
