I have multiple maven project. To change where the compiled jar is exported, I'm using maven-jar-plugin plugin like that :

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.2.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <outputDirectory>${export_dir}</outputDirectory>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

I use "Maven -> Update project". Now, I can run the mvn install and it will works.

BUT, Eclipse show this error:

The TOP of the file is :

And if I remove this plugin, then update project, the error disappear.

My eclipse version: Version: Oxygen.3a Release (4.7.3a), Build id: 20180405-1200 (because it was the last without Java 16 required)

Do you know how can I remove it ?

CodePudding user response：

Before I was running Eclipse with Java 8.

So, I :

• Update Eclipse as latest (2021-12)
• Use Java 16 instead of Java 8
• Made some changes of Eclipse options because of upgrades

And now, I don't know exactly why but it disappear. I'm thinking it's because of the Java version, but it's not sure.
