Question

The problem is that when i create a new maven project eclipse show me an error in pom.xml which is so weird. could you help me please .

ERROR: Cannot read lifecycle mapping metadata for artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:maven-plugin:2.12.4:runtime Cause: invalid END header (bad central directory offset)

error of pom.xml

Answer 1

It is because of one or more jar files are corrupted, so it will be difficult to find out which jar is the problem.

So just delete the .m2 repository and restart the eclipse .

If you are using window OS then location of .m2 directory is C:\\Users\\{username}\\.m2

It will work..!!
