[java] Maven:Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.7:resources

I am building my project using Maven. My maven version is apache-maven-3.0.4. I am using Eclipse Luna. When I try to build my project I get the following error

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.7:resources (default-resources) on project OrionCommunity: Mark invalid -> [Help 1].

Following is the stack trace when I run mvn clean install -X:

My maven repository is under D:/mavenrepo. I have completely deleted all the jars present in the repo and did a clean install. But I still get this error.

This question is related to java eclipse maven maven-plugin

The answer is


in my case, it was a confilict with IntelliJ , I've resolved it by building the project from command line and it worked!


I faced the same problem and did the filtering false like below working for me. You can try the same...

<testResources>
    <testResource>
        <directory>src/test/java</directory>
        <filtering>false</filtering>
    </testResource>
    <testResource>
        <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
        <filtering>false</filtering>
    </testResource>
</testResources>

I had this issue too because I was filtering /src/main/resources and forgot I had added a keystore (*.jks) binary to this directory.

Add a "resource" block with exclusions for binary files and your problem may be resolved.

<build>
  <finalName>somename</finalName>
  <testResources>
    <testResource>
      <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
      <filtering>false</filtering>
    </testResource>
  </testResources>
  <resources>
    <resource>
      <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
      <filtering>true</filtering>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>*.jks</exclude>
        <exclude>*.png</exclude>
      </excludes>        
    </resource>
  </resources>
...

I had the same error because of character '@' in my resources/application.properties. All I did was replacing the '@' for its unicode value: eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://discUser:discPassword\u0040localhost:8082/eureka/ and it worked like charm. I know the '@' is a perfectly valid character in .properties files and the file was in UTF-8 encoding and it makes me question my career till today but it's worth a shot if you delete content of your resource files to see if you can get pass this error.


In my case the targetPath was not having any value it was blank in the resources --> resource for the file directory with files that had issue. I had to update it to global as seen in the Code Sample 2 and re-run build to fix the issue.

Code Sample 1 (with issue)

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/locale</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <targetPath></targetPath>
            <includes>
                <include>*.xml</include>
                <include>*.config</include>
                <include>*.properties</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
    </resources>

Code Sample 2 (fix applied)

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/locale</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <targetPath>global</targetPath>
            <includes>
                <include>*.xml</include>
                <include>*.config</include>
                <include>*.properties</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
    </resources>


With:

        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.7</version>
        </plugin>

Was getting the following exception:

Then it is gone after adding maven-filtering 1.3:

        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.7</version>
          <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.shared</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-filtering</artifactId>
                <version>1.3</version>
            </dependency>
          </dependencies>
        </plugin>

What worked for me is to add include tag in order to specify exactly what I want to filter.

It seems the resource plugin has problems going through the whole src/main/resource folder, probably due to some specific files inside.

    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <includes>
                <include>application.yml</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
    </resources>

This could be a issue in mvn home path in IntellijIdea IDE. For me it worked out when I set the mvn home directory correctly.enter image description here


From official documentation

Warning: Do not filter files with binary content like images! This will most likely result in corrupt output.

If you have both text files and binary files as resources it is recommended to have two separated folders. One folder src/main/resources (default) for the resources which are not filtered and another folder src/main/resources-filtered for the resources which are filtered.

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources-filtered</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
      ...
    </resources>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Now you can put those files into src/main/resources which should not filtered and the other files into src/main/resources-filtered.

As already mentioned filtering binary files like images,pdf`s etc. could result in corrupted output. To prevent such problems you can configure file extensions which will not being filtered.

Most certainly, You have in your directory files that cannot be filtered. So you have to specify the extensions that has not be filtered.


remove this work for me:

<filtering>true</filtering>

I guess it is caused by this filtering bug
