Q: Something has to be wrong with my setup but what? Using:
* JDK 17 * Eclipse 2023-03 (4.27.0) * Maven 3.9.2 No one else on my team gets this error. We all have the same setup. We all clone the same repo. I alone get this error and only on one maven project. Eclipse builds the project well. Maven has the problem. This is what I enter: $ mvn clean validate This is the error: [ERROR] Internal error: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 3: jar:file:\C:\Program%20Files\apache-maven-3.9.2\lib\maven-core-3.9.2.jar!\org\apache\maven\project -> [Help 1] org.apache.maven.InternalErrorException: Internal error: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <:> at index 3: jar:file:\C:\Program%20Files\apache-maven-3.9.2\lib\maven-core-3.9.2.jar!\org\apache\maven\proj The above error started inexplicably after having worked correctly for some days. I can't understand what I might have changed. It must be something with my setup. No one else on my team, running against the same repo/branch is getting this error. I see the error has to do with a ":". "Index 3" implies 0=j 1=a 2=r 3=: Q: How to fix? Maven documentation says it's a bug in maven. http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/InternalErrorException InternalErrorException<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MAVEN/InternalErrorException> This error indicates a programming bug in Maven itself. To report this issue, please follow these steps: If true, then the others should encounter the same. Thanks in advance
