The warning message   WARNING  The requested profile  pom xml  could not be activated because it does not exist    means that you somehow passed -P pom xml to Maven which means  there is a profile called pom xml  find it and activate it   Check your environment and your settings xml for this flag and also look at all  lt profile gt  elements inside the various XML files   Usually  mvn help effective-pom is also useful to see what the real POM would look like   Now the error means that you tried to configure Maven to build Java 8 code but you re not using a Java 8 runtime  Solutions    Install Java 8 Make sure Maven uses Java 8 if you have it installed  JAVA HOME is your friend Configure the Java compiler in your pom xml to a Java version which you actually have    Related    Introduction to Build Profiles

Yes even I got the same error  So I did the following changes  -  Check the error in the Problems tab located near the Console tab  -  See where the error persists  Its possible that some jar file may be corrupted or is outdated so  pom isn t activated in the Project   -  I found one of my jar was outdated version so I updated it by getting the dependencies from maven repository from this link https   mvnrepository com  So to conclude  do check where the error persist and which jar file is outdated and make changes accordingly
