Maven: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.10.1:compile

Question

When I try to build my project using mvn clean compile assembly:single docker:build i get the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.10.1:compile (default-compile) on project sd2122-tp1: Compilation failure [ERROR] An unknown compilation problem occurred

When I try to run it again but using mvn clean compile assembly:single docker:build -X i get the following:

Java and Maven version:

Please give the pom file, JDK version you are using, Maven version you are using etc. also full log output ... – Dhole

I have updated the post with the information. – Jounce

is there a good reason why you use <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory> ? Keep the defaults... Also check first to run via mvn clean and a separate call mvn test...also located your production code into src/main/java/<package> and your test code in src/test/java/<package>... – Dhole

Also please check why you need that dependency com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal ??? Really with JDK 17... ? – Dhole

Answer 1

I encountered this error recently and I fixed it by doing the following.

Note that I use IntelliJ IDE.

1. Click on the File tab, and then click on Project Structure.
2. Then click on Project on the left pane. Under Project SDK, change it to the current Java Version in your project
3. Finally Click on SDKs and change the Java version to the current one in your project.

I hope this helps someone.

Answer 2

If the error message contains "lombok.javac.apt.LombokProcessor", include below dependency in pom.xml file :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.projectlombok</groupId>
    <artifactId>lombok</artifactId>
    <version>1.18.24</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
