Is this because of eclipse or because of repository or any certificate issue?

CoreException: Could not get the value for parameter compilerId for plugin execution default-compile: PluginResolutionException: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven- compiler-plugin:3.1

Answer 1

I have solved this by using the eclipse "Update Maven Project" (ALT+F5) feature and check the option "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases".

Answer 2

Yes, when we check "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases" for Updating maven project the error is resolved and it works fine.

• Press ALT+F5 to open sub-window "Update Maven Project" feature or You can right click on your project -> Maven -> Update Project
• Check the option "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases"

Answer 3

Yes, if you read the error details, it says, plugin is cached and not pulled/pushed from/to remote repository. Hence we should do force update, by using the eclipse "Update Maven Project" feature and check the option "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases".
