Question

Maven build Compilation error: failed to fulfill the goal org.apache.maven.plugins: maven-compiler-plugin: 3.1: compile (by default compilation) in the Maven project

I have a maven project forked and cloned from a git repository to my eclipse. It is built on Java 8. The first thing I do is execute

mvn clean install

But I get the following error message:

 [INFO] Scanning for projects...

However, the following is detailed information on the project construction path in which JRE-8 is clearly installed:

and compilation setup:

No matter how many times I create a project, I get the same error. Even after cleaning the project and updating it from an eclipse does not help. Please guide.

UPDATE:

After adding properties to install the maven compiler plugin

 <properties> <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> </properties>

we get the following error:

Adding this to POM fixed it for me. Adjust version as needed

 ... </dependencies> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.5.1</version> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </build>

Mark bramnik · Answer 2 · 2017-03-01T07:33:07+0000

I do not think the IDE is appropriate here. After all, you are working with Maven, and Maven does not have a source that allows you to compile diamond operators. So, I think you should configure the maven-compiler-plugin itself.

You can read about it here . But in general, try adding the following properties:

 <properties> <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> </properties>

and see if it compiles now only in Maven.

In my case, it was caused by incompatibility with OpenJDK 9 (which I have not investigated yet).

If you do not need JDK 9, the temporary work should be to clean it from your computer:

 sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk-9-jdk openjdk-9-jre sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk-9-jdk-headless openjdk-9-jre-headless

I had the same problem and I changed this

 <configuration> <source>1.7</source> <target>1.7</target> </configuration>

here 1.7 my version of JDK.it has been resolved.

Buddy
If all this is relevant, even then you have this problem, then
try running this command from the terminal directly rather than running from eclipse.
$ mvn clean install

and make sure of this:

maven is in the system path
all maven avaialble dependencies in `.m2 / repository`
java is in the system path

Rajib Naik From CGI · Answer 6 · 2018-03-15T12:15:16+0000

because it started due to a mismatch in the Java version, so I fixed it and I can create a war.hope file, it will help someone

  <maven.compiler.source>1.7</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.7</maven.compiler.target>

Sushovan mallick · Answer 7 · 2018-04-09T10:23:20+0000

By doing this in the pom.xml file and after updating the project, the problem disappeared.

 <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4</version> <configuration> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin>

Update the pom.xml file in the <plugin></plugin> section.
Update your project.
Then clean Maven and install Maven.

Srinivas avasarala · Answer 8 · 2018-04-18T13:04:08+0000

The pom.xml configuration below makes the build successful, and make sure the JRE project system library must point to Java8.

org.apache.maven.pluginsmaven-compiler-plugin3.7.0 1.81.8

vsingh · Answer 9 · 2018-07-30T20:18:39+0000

JDK solution 9 and 10

 <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>${maven-compiler.version}</version> <configuration> <source>${java.version}</source> <target>${java.version}</target> <debug>true</debug> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.ow2.asm</groupId> <artifactId>asm</artifactId> <version>6.2</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin>

and make sure your maven points to JDK 10 or 9. mvn -v

 Apache Maven 3.5.3 (3383c37e1f9e9b3bc3df5050c29c8aff9f295297; 2018-02-24T14:49:05-05:00) Maven home: C:\devplay\apache-maven-3.5.3\bin\..

In case you can compile the mvn compile project successfully from the terminal, but not from Eclipse, go to "Window"> "Preferences"> "Installed JREs", make sure you select the JRE under the JDK (check the paths of 2 different JREs on fig.), since Maven needs the JDK to compile, you need to add it.

Rohit bhatnagar · Answer 11 · 2018-10-25T06:35:08+0000

Go to the location of the file where the POM is stored and open cmd. Then enter "mvn --v" to check the provided version of maven and the Java runtime. Check the runtime attribute and if it is "C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jre1.8.0_191" or even close to the JRE, go to the environment variables and add a new "system variable" named "JAVA_HOME" with the value "C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.8.0_191 ".

Open cmd again and then "clean install" the project.

Make sure the Java home path is correct. in my case, the Java home path is incorrect in the pom file.

  <properties> <java.home>/usr/java/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/javac</java.home> </properties> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <version>3.5.1</version> <configuration> <verbose>true</verbose> <fork>true</fork> <executable>${java.home}</executable> <compilerVersion>1.8</compilerVersion> <source>1.8</source> <target>1.8</target> </configuration> </plugin>

user8961607 · Answer 13 · 2018-09-07T05:18:38+0000

You should add the code in pom.xml, for example:

 <properties> <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding> <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> </properties>

treeteq · Answer 14 · 2018-12-17T10:39:14+0000

You should follow this link, this is a video from YouTube, step by step explaining how to change the path to the installed jre (in my case it’s just an example ->) "C: \ Program Files \ Java \ jdk1.8.0_151"; watch the video: video language: deutsh ^^, but you have nothing to worry about.

I cannot run my own build on other offers here. I even tried different versions of maven-compiler-plugin: 3.1, 3.7.0, etc.

I made it work by adding this:

 <testSourceDirectory>/src/test/java</testSourceDirectory>

I tried this approach because it seems that the / src / test / java directory is considered a java class, so it compiles at the same time as / src / test / java. So my guesses were true in my case.

Maybe this is also for others, so just try this.
