For me, I changed C:\apps\Java\jdk1.8_162\bin\javac.exe to C:\apps\Java\jdk1.8_162\bin\javacpl.exe Since there was no executable with that name in the bin folder. That worked.
For my situation, I switched the value of "fork" to false, such as <fork>false</fork>. I do not understand why, hope someone could explain to me. Thanks in advance.
I was getting similar errors and eventually found just that cleaning the build folder resolved my issue.
mvn clean install
If JDK installed but still not working.
In Eclipse follow below steps:- Window --> Preference --> Installed JREs -->Change path of JRE to JDK(add).
I had the same issue. When compared the java version mentioned in the pom.xml file is different and the JAVA_HOME env variable was pointing to different version of jdk.
Have the JAVA_HOME and pom.xml updated to the same jdk installation path
