I was try to set up the openMRS core but landed in the following error. Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.1:compile (default-compile) on project openmrs-tools: Compilation failure
Hi Ayush, Can you paste the entire output of build. Please confirm if you are on JAVA8.
@defcon you could try deleting the .m2 directory which contains maven depedencies and rerun mvn clean install and allow all dependencies to download again.
