Solution

If you are using Run as->Maven Build then you have to specify a specific goal like install or package to the Goals field in the dialog box and run.

If it doesn't solve your problem, try running it in the command line once giving mvn clean install command and see the results.

what's about the first three lines of my post ?and is goal should make me choose install or package or I'll write it ? cause when i pressed goal and select i didn't found anything to choose it and i got this error [ERROR] Unable to locate the Javac Compiler in: /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_38/../lib/tools.jar Please ensure you are using JDK 1.4 or above and not a JRE (the com.sun.tools.javac.Main class is required)

[gowtham]

@user3188912 : What first three lines, I didnot get you. And about the goal , It will open a dialogue box asking for goal , you have enter install / package and run it, If it is not showing it, then go to run configuration and add the goal.

i mean this SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder". SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation SLF4J: See slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further

[gowtham]

@user3188912 That is about the logger configuration, ie slf4j is not configured correctly, which is not related to maven build

[Admin]

i solved it thanks Allah . the problem is in tools.jar i added external jar and added it manually

[Admin]

Thanks .but after build success . why pom.xml file have a question mark on it ?

[gowtham]
