Java Maven project won't get deployed to Heroku

I'm trying to deploy a simple app using Heroku but I keep on getting the same error which is:
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project
I thought there is a problem with my pom.xml file buta after changing it multiple times, it still didn't work and I can't seem to figure out why.
Here is my pom.xml file:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

To solve the error:
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.8.1:compile (default-compile) on project
I'd suggest several options:
try to add explicitly properties inside your POM before dependencies like:
<properties>
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
<maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
</properties>
*based on your Java project version.
try to configure by specifying a <configuration> element in format:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
try to upgrade/downgrade version of maven-compiler-plugin
then redeploy again.
If nothing helps, improve your question with updated investigations, please.
Also it'd be more informative if you update the question with your specific attempts, what exactly you tried to do to solve it.

Java giving NoClassDefFoundError when importing maven package

I have a simple java code, App.java. I am trying to import the apache commons Fraction class from the apache commons math3 library. So, as a sample code, I put this in my App.java:
package myApp;
import org.apache.commons.math3.fraction.Fraction;
public class App
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
Fraction f = new Fraction(2, 3);
System.out.println( "Hello World!" );
System.out.println( f );
}
}
Using the following POM:

I have tried to put the plugin suggested by utdemir in his answer to a similar question, but in my case, when I run:
mvn package
java -cp target/Proj1-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar myApp.App
While it apparently compiles properly, I get the following error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/math3/fraction/Fraction
at myApp.App.main(App.java:8)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.math3.fraction.Fraction
at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:636)
at java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:182)
at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:519)
... 1 more
What should I do?

Its much easier to run your app using mvn, rathen than by calling java directly. This is because in the later case you need to manually set the classpath to the correct value using the -cp flag. This can lead to errors, like in your case.
Here's how you can run your app using mvn
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="myApp.App"

ANTLR4 CharStream class missing

I am using ANTLR4 to parse command lines for my Java Shell project.
When I run a JUnit test in VSCode, everything is fine. However, when I am building the Docker image and I try to run the shell in interactive mode, I get this error:
Error: Unable to initialize main class uk.ac.ucl.jsh.Jsh
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/antlr/v4/runtime/CharStream
Is there any issue with my pom.xml file, or is the problem coming from somewhere else? This is my pom.xml file:

This doesn't really look like an ANTLR problem. You'll need to look into how you're doing your build and how you're putting your Docker image together.
There are a couple of solutions to this.
Look into how to have Maven produce an Uber jar (i.e. a jar file that bundles up all of it's dependencies)
Ensure that your Docker image has the ANTLR runtime included and in your class path.
The first of those is probably the more "normal" solutions these days.

How to create a runnable jar file with AspectJ?

I'm using Eclipse to compile java code with aspectj.
My code (with the aspect) works fine, but I'm struglling to create a jar file of this my code.
For example, if I select Export > Runnable JAR file, in the combo box I don't see my project (all the other project that not based on aspecj are showing up in the combo box).

If you like to have repeatable builds which work from command line as well as from IDEs like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA, I recommend a Maven build. The onejar-maven-plugin creates a runnable JAR including AspectJ runtime and all other declared dependencies for you:

Try to create a normal run configuration with the same start class as your AspectJ run configuration. When you create your runnable JAR, select the normal run configuration. The resulting JAR will have AspectJ support.
You can find here the answer :
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/204968/

The runnable jar exporter only works with Java Application type launch configs, but that shouldn't be a problem. Create a normal Java Application launch config with your main class and export the runnable jar based on that newly created launch config. It should work.

Simple remote deployment with Maven and Glassfish

I'm trying to set up a basic deployment pipeline using Maven, Glassfish, and the Maven-Glassfish-plugin. I want to make a remote deployment of a .war on a remote glassfish server that I own.
I'm following this tutorial : https://programmaticponderings.wordpress.com/2013/11/04/continuous-integration-and-deployment-using-git-maven-jenkins-and-glassfish/
I'm stuck at a step when I have to run a a Maven's goal with the following Goals :
properties:read-project-properties clean install glassfish:redeploy -e
with the following properties :
glassfish.properties.file.argument=testing
The pom.xml looks like this :

It use a .properties file with the following parameters (To my remote Glassfish domain)
# GlassFish 4 testing domain properties
glassfish.domain=testing
glassfish.host=XX.XX.XX.XX
glassfish.adminport=6060
glassfish.user=admin
glassfish.pwdfile=pwdfile_testing
As far as my understanding :
It properly connect to my remote Glassfishserver (If I change the password on the properties file, it warn me that the user/password is incorrect)
I have properly configured my remote Glassfishserver with a domain called "testing", and enable-secure-admin is actived, I can access my server with the Glassfish admin GUI.
If I deploy the .war on the Glassfish admin GUI, it's working.
It hangs for a few minute and give me an error, here's the error log (Lots of line as I have actived debug, the error is at the end of the file) :
http://pastebin.com/Fv6LvWkk
This is driving me crazy, I've spend countless hours trying to figure that out, no luck so far.
Thanks a lot !

Not really a fix, but I used the Cargo plugin instead of the Maven-To-Glassfish plugin, it's working fine now.
