Maven clean install: Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.2.0:resources

Question

I don´t know what´s the problem. Trying to install maven for a college project. I already installed maven as instructed here. Picture Environmental Variables, maven version in cmd And I also tried to delete the .m2 file. When I try to install maven over the plugin in InteliJ, I get the message: "process terminated" with no extra info. Then I tried to install over the terminal with mvn clean install and i got this.

Answer 1

It might be a new bug coming with some latest release of Spring-boot (and then : Spring).

I had it. The workaround is to put in your pom.xml this corrected dependency :

<!-- Pour contourner un bug à la génération par Spring-boot 2.4.x : 
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.2.0:resources (default-resources) on project application-etude: Input length = 1 -->               
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
</plugin>               

But this is a temporary workaround to 'save you' at the time the trouble fall upon you.

The way to correct the trouble correctly is to ensure that your properties files are now correctly encoded in UTF-8.

Because the underlying cause that makes this problem appearing is the presence of "junk chars" replacing accented characters when ISO-8859-1 (or other) properties files are considered as UTF-8 ones by Spring, while they aren't.

Answer 2

The root cause of the exception is that some resources contain resources which should not filtered (aka binary). The correct solution is to define an exclude for file extensions which should not filtered like the following:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <nonFilteredFileExtensions>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>pdf</nonFilteredFileExtension>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>swf</nonFilteredFileExtension>
          </nonFilteredFileExtensions>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
    ...
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Answer 3

I had the same problem and fixed it by adding in the pom.xml :

<properties>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

Here is the comment that help me solved the problem : https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/24346#issuecomment-740345146

Answer 4

I faced the same issue, and fixed it using the below changes in my pom.xml build plugin.

<project>
...
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.1.0</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

Answer 5

Some of your resources contains a character not in the ISO-8859-1 codepage, and this can cause disturbance here:

   at java.io.Reader.read (Reader.java:229)
   at org.apache.maven.shared.utils.io.IOUtil.copy (IOUtil.java:199)

A typical error might be an accentuated character in a .properties file.

Answer 6

I think you are defining application.property and application.yml at the same time. If you want to use both of them, please try plug the maven-resources-plugin

Answer 7

In my case, the error happened because I had properties files encoded with ANSI, while maven was trying to use UTF-8. I fixed it by converting my properties files to UTF-8, and then running mvn clean compile.

Answer 8

In my case, the error was due to accents on "application.properties"

It would certainly be far easier to fix such errors if the tool simply gave a message saying that a certain file contains invalid characters...

For the record, the relevant log part, after running mvn clean package -e -X, was this one:

[DEBUG] Using 'UTF-8' encoding to copy filtered resource 'application.properties'.
[DEBUG] filtering D:\Java\PreVendaAPI\src\main\resources\application.properties to D:\Java\PreVendaAPI\target\classes\application.properties
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 9

<properties>
        <java.version>13</java.version>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8 </project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

Use this in pom.xml file that will definetly work.

*Caution this syntax only works from java version 13 and later Use the previous syntax, if you are using older java versions

<properties>
        <maven.compiler.target>13</maven.compiler.target>
        <maven.compiler.source>13</maven.compiler.source>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
</properties>

Answer 10

You need exclude binary resourses.

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <propertiesEncoding>UTF-8</propertiesEncoding>
        <nonFilteredFileExtensions>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>xls</nonFilteredFileExtension>
            <nonFilteredFileExtension>xlsx</nonFilteredFileExtension>
        </nonFilteredFileExtensions>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Answer 11

I had the same error. After removing german umlauts ('ü') from comments in my propertie files, they should be filtered, the problem is gone!

Answer 12

Using this dependency solved this problem of mine

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

Answer 13

The problem is with the maven-resources-plugin. Newer versions of this plugin are less lenient than the older versions. Unfortunately, the error message that is displayed when the Maven build fails (Input length = 1) is only helpful if you recognize it from previous experience with character set problems in Java.

You can add some options to the Maven build command so it will display DEBUG level output and a full stacktrace on build failures. Try this as your first step in diagnosing the root cause:

mvn -e -X clean test

It will output a LOT of info to the console during the build with these options turned on. Just wait until the failure happens and check the end of the console output. You should see a full stacktrace at the end that will make more sense. Just before the stacktrace, you should also see the name of the file in your project that caused the error. For me, I saw output like this:

directory C:\GITROOT\conndev\repos\conn-lamp-server\src\test\resources
excludes []
includes []
[DEBUG] ignoreDelta true

Now I know that a file in my test resources directory was the problem:

src\test\resources\DummyExcelFile.xls

Older versions of the resources plugin must have been quietly suppressing the problem. I won't include the full stacktrace here, but this is the important line from the stacktrace:

Caused by: java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1

I've seen this before. It happens when a text file cannot be read by a Java 'reader' class because the file contains one or more characters that are invalid for the character set used by the reader. In my case, it was trying to read a binary file as text, so that was never going to work! The same problem could happen if you have a text file that contains unusual characters (such as those from European languages with accents) and those characters are not valid for the character set you are using (such as UTF-8). All these problems can be solved with some POM configuration.

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <configuration>
                <propertiesEncoding>UTF-8</propertiesEncoding>
                <nonFilteredFileExtensions>
                    <nonFilteredFileExtension>xls</nonFilteredFileExtension>
                    <nonFilteredFileExtension>zip</nonFilteredFileExtension>
                </nonFilteredFileExtensions>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

If you are using a different character set from UTF-8, just substitute yours in the XML snippet above. Do the same for any file extensions that you want the maven-resource-plugin to ignore when it does filtering.

Note that I have intentionally omitted the <version> for the maven-resources-plugin block above. This is because I am using the spring-boot-starter-parent in my POM and the version of many dependencies is inherited from the parent. If you do not use a parent, then you will have to explicitly set the version you want to use.

Answer 14

I had the same error when writing non utf-8 characters in a comment in application.properties file. I deleted those characters and it's working !

Answer 15

This message came up today, here is what I did to resolve it:

I used mvn to analyze the resources like this:

mvn -X process-test-resources

This way mvn returned the name of the file wich was causing the error:

[DEBUG] filtering .../messages.properties

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:3.2.0:resources (default-resources) on foo: Input length = 1 -> 

Turned out messages.properties contained special chars which had not been escaped properly. So I escaped them in the i18n-file and after that I was able to build again.

Answer 16

I Belive that error heppens because have some problems of compatibility R: The possible solution is to insert this plugin in pom.xml

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
</plugin>

Answer 17

For me stopping the server helped

(On Windows 10) npx kill-port your_port

Answer 18

By default, maven-resources-plugin uses project.build.sourceEncoding when filtering resources (which defaults to UTF-8).

The java standard for .properties files requires ISO-8859-1 encoding.

To resolve this, you can explicitely configure how .properties Files should be filtered:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>3.2.0</version>
  <configuration>
    <propertiesEncoding>ISO-8859-1</propertiesEncoding>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

This is also described in the official documentation of the plugin: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filtering-properties-files.html

Answer 19

This error occured when I put this comment in application.properties file:

0.075 = ± 7,5%

Answer 20

I could find the problem using the clean install -e -X goals on my run configuration in eclipse (you can also run it on command line).

In my case was a problem with angular classes generated with a script to auto build a .war with an angular project. In some point of the script it was failing and it made the command to delete the public folder built in the resources folder of my project doesn't execute (del /Q src\main\resources\public\*.*), so the files keep in my project making a headache the next time I tried to compile in my IDE. The solution was deleting from the IDE this folder and it worked on the first try.

Answer 21

I had the exact same error but none of the solutions here worked because:

• I already had the sourceEncoding set to UTF-8 in my pom.xml
• I don't want to downgrade a plugin for the sake of some "bug"
• My problem comes from a binary file, not just some special characters in a properties file

Both OP and my errors are due to a file not being copied correctly from the resources folder. Re-running the build with -X or -e shows in the stack trace that the offending file (in my case) was my .der cert file in my resources folder which makes sense.

So the fix was simply to add to my pom.xml:

    <build>
        ...
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
                <filtering>true</filtering>
                <excludes>
                    <exclude>**/*.der</exclude>
                </excludes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        ...
    </build>
