@wandji69, have you tried deleting content in your .m2 folder? You may also need to make sure you have reliable internet. Then recompile again.

Hello @wandji69, I think your problem is with java version for the cases i’ve seen this particular issue they have one way or the other been related to java version. Do you mind telling the version of java that you are using?

Java version 10.x.x

That usually happens when you are not running that command from the webapp folder.
