maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile(1 errors) in eclipse

Question

I want to learn java spring, so I choose Eclipse Mars2 Version and I want to build a java project using Maven. But I get errors

maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile(1 errors)
maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:testCompile(1 errors)

Then I check my maven and java path in my Windows 10 64 bit system variable. I configured like this :

JAVA_HOME => C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_71
M2_HOME => C:\apache-maven
MAVEN_HOME => C:\apache-maven

And in systen variabel path : %JAVA_HOME%\bin %M2_HOME%\bin

Everything is fine, I checked it by java -version and mvn-version Also, I have installed mvn plugin in eclipse in install new software to maven :

Name: m2e Location: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases

But I still failed. The errors is still pop up. Please advise. Thanks.

UPDATE

I test to build a project maven-archetype-quickstart version 1.1

execution default-compile, in Access/pom.xml
execution default-testCompile, in Access/pom.xml

UPDATE AGAIN

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

 <dependency>
  <groupId>junit</groupId>
  <artifactId>junit</artifactId>

  <scope>test</scope>
 </dependency>
 </dependencies>
</project>

Eclipse detect error in first line which is : project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" .....

also in line 8.

This is the complete error :

If you getting only getting started then perhaps it would be easier to use the spring tool suite - https://spring.io/tools/sts. — Curious, Dec 03 '16 at 19:23
I'm not sure that update helps. It says `(1 errors)`, but `execution default-compile, in Access/pom.xml` does not look like an error. — OneCricketeer, Dec 03 '16 at 20:19
You still didn't post the actual content of the errors. What are they? — Tunaki, Dec 03 '16 at 20:48
The error "failure to transfer ..." is the real problem here. You need to check if your connection to Maven central is working ...or if you have proxy problem.. — khmarbaise, Dec 04 '16 at 08:57

It seems like there is corruption in your local repository. Please try:

Delete the local repository, if you use Windows, delete the folder C:\Users\your-user-name\.m2\repository
In Eclipse, right click on the project name and click Maven\Update project ... (or use hotkey ALT+F5)
