      </configuration>
   </plugin>

</plugins>

<toolchains>
    <toolchain>
    <type>jdk</type>
    <provides>
      <version>1.8</version>
      <vendor>sun</vendor>
    </provides>
    <configuration>
      <jdkHome>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172</jdkHome>
    </configuration>
  </toolchain>
</toolchains>

Please help where to resolve the problem. Thanks in advance.



Solution 1:[1]

change the version in pom to 1.8 instead of jdk1.8.0_172

                <configuration>
                    <toolchains>
                        <jdk>
                            <version>1.8</version>
                            <vendor>sun</vendor>
                        </jdk>
                    </toolchains>
                </configuration>

Solution 2:[2]

Check your directory path carefully. The two comments about file location and testing with maven --toolchains C:\User\zzz\.m2\toolchains.xml clean install helped me see that my folder was "m2" and not ".m2".
