[ERROR] After correcting the problems, you can resume the build with the command
[ERROR] mvn <goals> -rf :closure-compiler
This is happening on an Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, but I experienced the same issue on centos 7.
Can someone explain what's going on?
Update:
I modified the pom.xml and removed the deprecation
<compilerArgument>-Xlint:unchecked,deprecation,fallthrough,finally</compilerArgument>
Now the build fails with:

Answer 1

No idea if this is the same issue but I had something similar with Ubuntu 18.04. Turns out I only had the JRE installed and not the JDK. After running sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk it compiled, no problem.

Answer 2

This is the plugin i used in maven for minification of Javascript part of my project. It minifies all .js files and overwrites them at build phase. I hope this will help
