The projet is built fine with: mvn compiler:compile .

All jar files exist.

I don't understand how is it possible to fail when it just create a simple jar file...

Thanks for any idea.

I finally find the answer, prepare yourself:

rd /Q /S C:\Users\XXX\.m2\repository
mvn clean install -U
mvn package

It works without any issue... Still don't understand why the jar was corrupted as it was previously downloaded by maven...
