There are two solutions taken to solve the above problem :
1. Change the Java SDK version
The first one is by changing the Java SDK used to execute or in this case to compile the application using maven. Consult on any reference for changing the Java SDK version used in the compilation process by maven.
2. Remove the folder inside .m2/repository
Try tro re-compile or to execute the command ‘mvn compile’, but try to do it after removing all the files exist in the .m2/repository folder which contains all of the artifact downloaded and used by maven.
