Just for completeness - similar case of method removed in newer API.

There is a class like this one:

  class T extends Thread {
    @Override
    public void destroy() {
    }
  }

When ecj (executed under JDK11) is used manually it works as expected
- for release 8 the class is compiled successfully, for release 11 -
compilation fails
(as Thread.destroy() no longer exists and @Override is not met).

maven executed under JDK11, with release set to 8 - fails.
