While I try to build/install maven I am getting the result

I am using JDK 1.8 which is installed in the system. Is it a maven plugin issue? I think the xml configurations are almost fine.

I am using eclipse oxygen.For the first time I am running a spring project using oxygen. Can anyone help me to solve this?

Add this property in your pom.xml :

<properties>
       <java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>
