Maven build in error

Question

I am getting the following error while trying to do maven build.

Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.7.0:compile (default-compile) on project

Maven version is 3.5.3 . maven compiler plugin version is 3.7.0. Is there any issue because of it?

I installed jdk1.8. So, that is the default version using in eclipse.
plugin specified in pom.xml like as follows (which was auto generated).

<plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.7.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <source>1.8</source>
          <target>1.8</target>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.0</version>
        <configuration>
          <warSourceDirectory>WebContent</warSourceDirectory>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>

Mine is a spring mvc project. I think , my codes and code configurations are correct. Something wrong with maven . I deleted the .me/repository . But no change were made. IDE using is Eclipse Oxygen.
