Errors occurred during the build.

I am not getting what is the error. whether pom.xml file is configured correctly or not. i checked on internet the configuration is right.

Answer 1

Its very little information that you've provided, it would at least be good to see your maven resources plugin configuration in your pom.xml

But in general it might be that you're using some proxy and while downloading the plugin jar you've received an HTTP error response in HTML format which got saved as a jar in your repo.

Try removing the jar from repo manually and run the build again.
