Deleting full  m2 repository local repository solved my problem   Or else you need to know what plugins are you using exactly with their dependencies as one of the plugin suffered a problem while downloading

User · Answer

Maybe there is a file got locked in the target folder

User · Answer

None of the other answers suggests downloading just the missing plugin  Before you delete your whole  m2 repository and re-download all project dependencies and all plugins  you may want to try  mvn dependency resolve-plugins  That will download just the missing plugins

User · Answer

It is because your Maven not able to find settings file  If deleting  m2 not work  try below solution Go to your JOB configuration than to the Build section Add build step  - Invoke top level maven target and fill Maven version and Goal than click on Advance button and mention settings file path as mention in image

I think you have Two ways to solve this problem  01  Set Properties    Set Java Build Path as jdk      Right click project - Java Build Path - Select Libraries tab - Select JRE System Library - Click Edit button - Click Installed JREs-  add tick to box - click Edit - Click Directory- Select jdk    Specifi which kind of jdk version you installed      Right click project - Project Facets - tick java and select java version- Apply - Ok    Update project      Right-click on  project - Go to Maven- Update   02 Delete  m2 file  If you can t solve your problem using above two topic get this action Close your project  Delete your full  m2 folder  How to fined  m2 file windows      Go to Local Disk C  - Users - Select your PC name -  m2 file

User · Answer

It s really incredible to be oblige to erase whole  m2 repository content  I suggest to type this command  On Windows     mvn clean mvn -X package  gt  my log file log  The last command enable Debug option et redirect output to a file  Open the file and search ERROR or WARNING key words  You can find this kind of expression   DEBUG                                                                           WARNING  The POM for javax servlet javax servlet-api jar 4 0 0 is invalid  transitive dependencies  if any  will not be available  1 problem was encountered while building the effective model for javax servlet javax servlet-api 4 0 0  FATAL  Non-parseable POM C  Users vifie  m2 repository net java jvnet-parent 3 jvnet-parent-3 pom  processing instruction can not have PITarget with reserved xml name  position  END TAG seen     lt  profiles gt  n n lt  project gt  n n lt  xml      160 7     C  Users vifie  m2 repository net java jvnet-parent 3 jvnet-parent-3 pom  line 160  column 7   WARNING  The POM for org glassfish javax json jar 1 0 4 is invalid  transitive dependencies  if any  will not be available  1 problem was encountered while building the effective model for org glassfish javax json  unknown-version   FATAL  Non-parseable POM C  Users vifie  m2 repository net java jvnet-parent 3 jvnet-parent-3 pom  processing instruction can not have PITarget with reserved xml name  position  END TAG seen     lt  profiles gt  n n lt  project gt  n n lt  xml      160 7     C  Users vifie  m2 repository net java jvnet-parent 3 jvnet-parent-3 pom  line 160  column 7  It s esay in this case to understand you have just to delete directory C  Users vifie m2 repository net java jvnet-parent 3 Relaunch compilation  packaging and so on    mvn package  WARNING disappear just because you delete POM file corrupted at the good location and maven re download it  Normally the new POM file is better  Often debug mode give you messages with more comprehensive details  Why I redirect log to a file   Simply because on Windows console don t have enough buffer to store all lines and often you cannot see all lines

I had this problem once  and this is how i resolved it   Step-1 Clean your  m2 repository   Step-2 execute the maven command for example mvn clean verify  from the terminal at the current project location where your project s pom xml file exist  instead of running maven from eclipse

I renamed the  m2 directory  this didn t help yet  so I installed the newest sdk jdk and restarted eclipse  This worked   It seems an SDK was needed and I only had installed a JRE   Which is weird  because eclipse worked on the same machine for a different older project   I imported a second maven project  and Run maven install did only complete after restarting eclipse  So maybe just a restart of eclipse was necessary   Importing yet another project  and had to do maven install twice before it worked even though I had restarted eclipse

Either remove the below code from the pom xml or correct your java version to make it work       lt plugin gt       lt artifactId gt maven-compiler-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 3 0 lt  version gt       lt configuration gt         lt source gt 1 6 lt  source gt         lt target gt 1 6 lt  target gt       lt  configuration gt     lt  plugin gt

Actually  if you do not want to delete your local  m2 repository     and you are have a downloaded copy of Maven from Apache  you can have Eclipse  STS use that external Maven and you can edit the  maven  conf settings xml to point your localRepository to a new empty location     lt localRepository gt C  java repository lt  localRepository gt    Of course  you will have a new repository with all of the maven source downloads in addition to your previous  m2 location

I had the same problem  check the installed jre used by Maven in your Run Configuration     In your case  I think that the maven-compiler-plugin jar 2 3 2 needs a jdk1 6  To do this   Run Configuration   YOUR MAVEN BUILD   JRE   Alternate JRE  Hope this helps

Usually  define maven-compiler-plugin is sufficient enough  add the following to your compiler plugin definition    lt plugin gt       lt inherited gt true lt  inherited gt       lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt maven-compiler-plugin lt  artifactId gt                 lt  plugin gt

Sometimes this issue comes because the java version which you have mentioned in POM xml is not the one installed in your machine    lt properties gt       lt java version gt 1 7 lt  java version gt   lt  properties gt    Ensure you exactly mention the same version in your pom xml as the jdk and jre version present in your machine

I am adding more points to the solution by  Rushi Shah  mvn clean install -X helps to identify the root cause   Some of the important phases of Maven build lifecycle are    clean     the project is clean of all artifacts that came from previous compilations compile     the project is compiled into  target directory of project root install     packaged archive is copied into local maven repository  could in your user s home directory under   m2  test     unit tests are run package     compiled sources are packaged into archive  JAR by default   The 1 6 under  tag refers to JDK version  We need to ensure that proper jdk version in our dev environment or change the value to  1 7 or 1 5 or whatever if the application can be supported in that JDK version    lt build gt       lt plugins gt           lt plugin gt               lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt               lt artifactId gt maven-compiler-plugin lt  artifactId gt               lt version gt 3 0 lt  version gt               lt configuration gt                   lt source gt 1 6 lt  source gt                   lt target gt 1 6 lt  target gt               lt  configuration gt           lt  plugin gt       lt  plugins gt   lt  build gt    We can find the complete details on Maven build lifecycle in Maven site

Sometimes it is caused due to the project points to JRE rather than JDK So try this   1 Right Click on project -- Build Path --  Configure Build Path -- Add Library -- JRE System Library -- Environments--  Installed JREs-- Point to java folder in c  drive  Windows  and select JDK folder and ok   2 Remove the already present JRE from build path
