Any idea why is not working? I have try many approaches based on other people's error but none of it work. Kinda frustrated now. Any assistance would be appreciated

Answer 1

This error is basically due to a plugin issue.

create a jar for the project by running these commands

mvn clean install and then java -jar jar-localtion.jar
