Original error: Could not transfer artifact backport-util-concurrent:backport-util-concurrent:pom:3.1 from/to central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2): PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target pom.xml /Ideas line 13 Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem
Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.0:compile (execution: default-compile, phase: compile) pom.xml /Ideas line 13 Maven Project Build Lifecycle Mapping Problem

Answer 1

It would be generally helpful if you provide the stack trace as a code snippet to make it more readable.
It looks like the root cause is as follows:
PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
You should find posts here on StackOverflow or on the web that explain how to configure the JVM you are using to execute Maven. :)
