Answer 1

For me changing plugin version could not solve problme and changing JDK version is not in my control.

However running mvn clean before mvn tomcat6:deploy solved this problem.

Answer 2

Confirmed, I ran into the same issue with maven 3.0.2 and jdk 1.7.0_02. After running against jdk 1.6.0_30 it compiled just fine.

Answer 3

I was getting the same error after i upgraded my java version from 8 to some 8.x, i fixed it by going to pom then 1. right click > maven > add plugin 2. type in org.apache.maven and then look for war plugin add it and save, then just clean and install. It should work.

Answer 4

It's confirmed: JDK7 with Maven 2.x will produce this error.

I am using Maven 2.2.1 and JDK7 and got this error. I changed the JDK to version 1.6 and it's working fine.

Answer 5

I don't think the version was the problem. I solved deleting my target folder (because it contains webapp-cache.xml) and doing Maven install again.

Answer 6

I had this problem when doing a mvn install. I resolved it by doing a mvn clean first, followed by a mvn install.

Using maven 2.1.1, JDK 1.7.0.45.
