I already saw some post like this and this; i tried to delete all .m2 folder, change the source inside pom and check if all the jar reported as urls are present in my repository (and all was there).

Thank you

The System's installed Apache Maven version: 3.5.3 (the result of mvn -v) is lower than the version of the maven-compiler-plugin 3.8.0 in your pom.xml

@elfuser Can you post the structure of your project, is their parent pom and module pom? – Yugerten Oct 31 '18 at 10:52
@Yugurten just added completed pom and the structure. – el fuser Oct 31 '18 at 11:20

@elfuser try to delete and just let .... on the build space – Yugerten Oct 31 '18 at 11:23
Downgrading the plugin version to 3.5.1 worked for me, but is this really related? On a different computer, 3.8.0 works fine with Maven 3.6, which is also "lower" than 3.8. Do you have a source for this (after all, it's set as a quote)? – tobias_k May 15 '19 at 16:50

The best thing to do is totally clean from your disk and install last version (3.5.3) from here. For be sure, remove environment variable from system windows and create again.

In Eclipse the Ant java.home variable is not based on the Windows JAVA_HOME environment variable. Instead it is set to the home directory of the project's JRE.

To change the default JRE (e.g. change it to a JDK) you can go to Windows->Preferences... and choose Java->Installed JREs.-> Edit-> C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172

The problem is not on Eclipse. And after that, JDK in eclipse is right. – el fuser Oct 30 '18 at 12:13
