Hi,

You need to fiddle with maven-resources-plugin version, try to change it in your pom.xml:


<plugin>
 <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>3.2.0</version>
 <configuration>
   <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
 </configuration>
</plugin>

Thanks Igor for your response.
I added a section as recommended to pom.xml (attached) but the problem still persisted.

Hm…
Try to delete local maven repository, it is usually in ${HOME}/.m2 folder and re-run with -U flag (this forces maven to update).

Otherwise try this answer from SO: link
