Answer 1

I had the similar problem. In my case path to local maven repository contained cyrillic symbols.
I changed my settings.xml and put <localRepository> element there to specify new repository path with latin symbols only. And that worked for me.

Answer 2

I also had a similar issue. As it turned out, windows user home path contained a character with accent, caused an error. It was: c:\Users\Géza.m2 We changed to other user, everything was good.

Answer 3

Well, I found the solution. (based on http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/xml/XMLConstants.html#ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA)

Create a file named jaxp.properties (if it doesn't exist) under /path/to/jdk1.8.0/jre/lib and then write this line in it:

javax.xml.accessExternalSchema = all That's all. Enjoy JDK 8.
