Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile) on project about spring-boot HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello,

unfortunately, this stacktrace doesn't contain enough information to diagnose the issue.

If you'd like us to spend some time investigating, please take the time to provide a complete minimal sample (something that we can unzip or git clone, build, and deploy) that reproduces the problem.

from spring-boot.

I get this error when I try to run mvn clean install
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (default-compile) on project jma-rest: Fatal error compiling: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: Unable to make field private com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment$DiscoveredProcessors com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.discoveredProcs accessible: module jdk.compiler does not "opens com.sun.tools.javac.processing" to unnamed module @1d2423b5

from spring-boot.

@java-nta It looks like something is trying to reflectively access JavacProcessingEnvironment.discoveredProcs and the module system is preventing that. AFAIK, Spring Boot does not try to do this so I suspect that it's something else. maven-compiler-plugin 3.8.0 is six years old so I would start by upgrading it to a more recent version. If that does not help and you would like further help in identifying the cause of the problem, please follow up on Stack Overflow.
