Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.8:run what is this?

Question

Java

Hello.
I am using maven to compile a project and I am getting this error what does this error mean and what should i do ? Thanks

Answer 1

This means that the pom you are trying to build has (among other things) a maven-antrun plugin that should do something... but when it comes down to it, it can't do that "something", and the build crashes. Why this happens can only be said by knowing what it is specifically trying to do ... most often, problems arise from a mismatch of the environment for which the plugin was configured: paths, rights, the absence / presence of any files, or even Win / Linux. It all depends on the curvature of the hands of the one who configured the build ... or the one who tries to execute it without reading the instructions :)

Answer 2

This means exactly what it says - Maven was unable to run the maven-antrun command of the "run" plugin.
Read the official docs on setting up and running the plugin.
