Question

mvn clean package is failing due to a warning. Is it due to this bug (its fixed though)? Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Answer 1

Looking at the comments in the bug link in the question, it looks like the problem occurs when verbose is turned on. Can you check if this is true in your case and if so, check if the error persists if it is turned off?

Answer 2

By providing the below arguments in the pom.xml of my project solved the issue.

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<compilerArguments>
<bootclasspath>${java.home}\lib\rt.jar</bootclasspath>
</compilerArguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>

But still unclear as to why this works?
