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"

Why in Maven Error 'java: cannot find symbol'?

I am using Intellij Idea to build a java maven project from a MAC OS machine. When I am trying to run 'compile' an error is issued:
Error:(120,41) java: cannot find symbol
A line with this error (it works correctly):
for (Field field : FieldUtilsExt.getFieldsWithAnnotation(PageFactory.getInstance().getCurrentPage().getClass(), ElementTitle.class))
In Google, I found only information that such an error began to appear with JDK7. Everything works great with JDK6. But I still do not understand how to solve this.

I saw a question similar to mine, but it didn’t help me

How I solved the problem:
Added a dependency in pom for the library from which the FieldUtilsExt.getFieldsWithAnnotation (...) method was used

maven compilation error : The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect

Am compiling my pom.xml file and am getting the below compilation error

The sawn off error message:

suggests that you need to change the outputDirectory configuration of the maven-dependency-plugin to:
<configuration>
<!-- exclude junit, we need runtime dependency only -->
<includeScope>runtime</includeScope>
<outputDirectory>
${project.build.directory}/dependency-jars/

to get rid of the newline in the middle the value.

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.
