Good day, I just tried creating a simple project with inheritance and I cannot duplicate your problem. I ran mvn validate, mvn package, mvn compiler:compile and it builds just fine with my Maven 2.0.6, and Java 1.5.0_11, running under Windows XP.
I've attached here that simple project, kindly check if it works in your machine. If it does not, then I guess it has something to do with your machine ( maven setup perhaps? ). If it does, then maybe there's something maybe something in your maven project is causing the failure.
