CoreException: Failed to get the value of the compilerId parameter to execute the default plugin: PluginResolutionException

Question

Every time I create a simple maven project, I get below the error. Please let me know what might solve. I tried many ways to resolve it, but could not. what could be the reason?

Is it due to an eclipse or a repository or some kind of certificate issue?

CoreException: could not get the value of the compilerId parameter to execute the default plugin: PluginResolutionException: plugin org.apache.maven.plugins: maven- Compiler-plugin: 3.1

Answer 1

I solved this using the Eclipse completion function “Maven Project Update” (ALT + F5) to check the “Force Snapshot / Release Update” option.

Answer 2

Yes, when we check "Force Snapshot / Release Updates" to update the maven project, the error is fixed and it works fine.

• Press ALT + F5 to open the "Update Maven Project" pane, or right-click your project → Maven → Update Project.
• Check the box "Force snapshot / release updates"

Answer 3

• Check for an update to the Maven Project function (ALT + F5);
• Click the Force snapshot / release update option.

This should work just fine.

Answer 4

Yes, if you read the error data, it says that the plugin is cached and not pulled from / to the remote repository. Therefore, we must force update using the Eclipse function “Update Maven Project” and check the “Force update of snapshots / releases” parameter.

Answer 5

The best approach is to go to the working directory through the command line where pom.xml is available and run the command mvn clean package -U

Answer 6

If the same project opens in another eclipse or in any other IDE in parallel, and when I try to build the same project, I get the same error. After closing and restoring the same, it is resolved

Answer 7

The best approach is to go to the working directory through the command line where the pom.xml file was available and run the mvn clean package -U command

This method works like magic in any maven issues.
