Answer 1

On my side, I solved it in java 11 by adding:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.6.0</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>default-descriptor</id>
        <phase>process-classes</phase>
      </execution>
      <!-- if you want to generate help goal -->
      <execution>
        <id>help-goal</id>
        <goals>
          <goal>helpmojo</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>

Answer 2

I got the same problem and fixed it by not definig a newer Java Release but using Java 8:

<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>

Answer 3

For JDK11 (JDK8 respectively) support there is a bug in version 3.0,3.1,3.2. You must use 3.3 or later:

<build>
    <pluginManagement>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.3</version>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </pluginManagement>
</build>
