Unable to import maven projects

I use Intellij 2018.2 version and have problem importing maven dependencies when setting "JDK for importer = JDK 11" for maven. Maven import works fine with JDK 1.8.   Since java compile version is set to JDK 11, not sure if setting maven importing version to JDK 1.8 will be compatible. Here is the error log:
