mvn deploy is failing

Question

I'm facing problem while deploying and here is the error message I get. I have check my project Target folder has not created yet.

I checked on internet and not able to find the solution for this issue. I think it's related to pom.xml. Here is the related parts of pom.xml:

        <properties>
            <spring.version>4.3.5.RELEASE</spring.version>
            <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
            <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>

        </dependency>

I am not able to find the correct dependency.

If the target folder is not created, can you try doing a "mvn clean install" first and see if the build runs fine and that a "target" folder is created with the desired artifact.

And once you have confirmed that works, add a distributionManagement tag in your pom.xml, for example below, replace the test and url below with your desired repo manager configs/values, and then do a "mvn deploy".

  <distributionManagement>
    <repository>
           <id>test</id>
           <url>Repo path</url>
    </repository>
 </distributionManagement>
