How do I resolve these Maven internal errors?

Question

I am trying to build the popular zxing barcode scanner, following the directions listed here.

I have used multiple versions of Maven, but regardless of what version I use, when I type the command mvn package android:apk as instructed, I get strange errors that have never been seen by man before.

Errors:

Answer 1

Change the version to 3.9.0-rc.2 for android-maven-plugin solved the issue.
