Answer 1

In my case It was giving below error

error: error reading C:\Users\ppatel4.m2\repository\org\apache\xalan\xalan\2.7. 1\xalan-2.7.1.jar; error in opening zip file

Below are the steps I did to fix it.

1. Manually download xalan-2.7.1.jar
2. Remove all files of: ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/xalan/xalan/2.7.1/
3. Copy the jar which is manually downloaded into the location: ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/xalan/xalan/2.7.1/

---

$ cp xalan-2.7.1.jar ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/xalan/xalan/2.7.1/

Its Done… Try to execute your mvn clean install command.
