Maven:Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.7:resources

I am building my project using Maven. My maven version is apache-maven-3.0.4. I am using Eclipse Luna. When I try to build my project I get the following error

> [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.7:resources (default-resources) on project OrionCommunity: Mark invalid -> [Help 1].

Following is the stack trace when I run mvn clean install -X:

My maven repository is under D:/mavenrepo. I have completely deleted all the jars present in the repo and did a clean install. But I still get this error.

With:

        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         	<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
         	<version>2.7</version>
        </plugin>

Was getting the following exception:

Then it is gone after adding maven-filtering 1.3:

        <plugin>
          <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
         	<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
         	<version>2.7</version>
          <dependencies>
            <dependency>
            	<groupId>org.apache.maven.shared</groupId>
            	<artifactId>maven-filtering</artifactId>
            	<version>1.3</version>
            </dependency>
          </dependencies>
        </plugin>

remove this work for me:

<filtering>true</filtering>

I guess it is caused by this filtering bug

I had this issue too because I was filtering /src/main/resources and forgot I had added a keystore (*.jks) binary to this directory.

Add a "resource" block with exclusions for binary files and your problem may be resolved.

<build>
  <finalName>somename</finalName>
  <testResources>
    <testResource>
      <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
      <filtering>false</filtering>
    </testResource>
  </testResources>
  <resources>
    <resource>
      <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
      <filtering>true</filtering>
      <excludes>
        <exclude>*.jks</exclude>
        <exclude>*.png</exclude>
      </excludes>        
    </resource>
  </resources>
...

What worked for me is to add include tag in order to specify exactly what I want to filter.

It seems the resource plugin has problems going through the whole src/main/resource folder, probably due to some specific files inside.

    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
            <includes>
                <include>application.yml</include>
            </includes>
        </resource>
    </resources>

In my case the targetPath was not having any value it was blank in the resources --> resource for the file directory with files that had issue. I had to update it to global as seen in the Code Sample 2 and re-run build to fix the issue.

Code Sample 1 (with issue)

<build>
	<resources>
		<resource>
			<directory>src/main/locale</directory>
			<filtering>true</filtering>
			<targetPath></targetPath>
			<includes>
				<include>*.xml</include>
				<include>*.config</include>
				<include>*.properties</include>
			</includes>
		</resource>
	</resources>

Code Sample 2 (fix applied)

<build>
	<resources>
		<resource>
			<directory>src/main/locale</directory>
			<filtering>true</filtering>
			<targetPath>global</targetPath>
			<includes>
				<include>*.xml</include>
				<include>*.config</include>
				<include>*.properties</include>
			</includes>
		</resource>
	</resources>

I fixed the same issue by referencing the latest maven resource plugin release:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0</version>
</dependency>

From official documentation

> Warning: Do not filter files with binary content like images! This > will most likely result in corrupt output. > > If you have both text files and binary files as resources it is > recommended to have two separated folders. One folder > src/main/resources (default) for the resources which are not filtered > and another folder src/main/resources-filtered for the resources which > are filtered.

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    ...
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources-filtered</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
      ...
    </resources>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Most certainly, You have in your directory files that cannot be filtered. So you have to specify the extensions that has not be filtered.

I had the same error because of character '@' in my resources/application.properties. All I did was replacing the '@' for its unicode value: eureka.client.serviceUrl.defaultZone=http://discUser:discPassword\u0040localhost:8082/eureka/ and it worked like charm. I know the '@' is a perfectly valid character in .properties files and the file was in UTF-8 encoding and it makes me question my career till today but it's worth a shot if you delete content of your resource files to see if you can get pass this error.

I faced the same problem and did the filtering false like below working for me. You can try the same...

<testResources>
    <testResource>
        <directory>src/test/java</directory>
        <filtering>false</filtering>
    </testResource>
    <testResource>
        <directory>src/test/resources</directory>
        <filtering>false</filtering>
    </testResource>
</testResources>

in my case, it was a confilict with IntelliJ , I've resolved it by building the project from command line and it worked!

I solved that by changing coding format of ressources files to UTF-8

This could be a issue in mvn home path in IntellijIdea IDE. For me it worked out when I set the mvn home directory correctly.
