Jenkins - Selenium Maven test error - Failed to execute goal

I am using Jenkins (2.107.2) to run a maven test for the first time.
Platform : Linux
It is a java program using selenium, it fails on the following issue below.
I have tried manually deleted the directory prior to running but made no difference.
And set the permissions of the folder to be accessed by anyone. ?
any ideas / pointers why it is going wrong ?

i can now run the clean from the command line. It successfully cleaned.

Add clean to your CLI command.
If you execute mvn test then it should be mvn clean test.
And the issue could be caused by the space you can find in your project name, I suggest to trim spaces in the project name.

For anyone elses reference.
I never found the cause of the issue nor could fix it.
I deleted the maven project in eclipse, created a new one. The new one then worked ok .....
Thanks for any feedback.

The system cannot find the file specified while trying to install JAR with sources with Maven

I was using the followig command to build the project
mvn compile exec:java clean install
and it was working. I wished it to install sources to local repository and wrote
mvn compile exec:java source:jar clean install
and now it fails with
...

how to fix/overcome?

Try
mvn clean source:jar compile install exec:java
Or just:
mvn clean source:jar install exec:java
So basically you need to put the "clean" before the "source:jar"
or else installation for sources will fail

installing 3rd party JARs

I have a maven project in Eclipse called TdkUtils, with this pom.xml:
This is a utils project. So I want to create a jar, put it in the repository and use it in another projects.
...
<groupId>com.tdk</groupId>
<artifactId>tdkUtils</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<name>tdkUtils</name>
...
But I got these errors when installing the plugin:

If you just execute mvn install while inside the same directory with the util pom.xml file, maven will install the jar file into local repository for the user.
After that, the jar file can be used by the same user from other projects.

you can install a jar to local repo without pom.xml like this:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=target/tdkUtils-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -DgroupId=com.tdk -DartifactId=tdkUtils -Dversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT -Dpackaging=jar

How to run mvn verify in a maven-download disabled box?

I need to run mvn verify in a secured box where maven is not able to download anything. I am able to run the command on my local laptop, so I copied my local .m2 folder to the secured box. However, I got this error:
$ mvn verify -o

So, looks like copying .m2 is not enough. So, what should I do to make sure maven can do the job without downloading anything?
Thank you very much.

Maven 3: Maven in 5 minutes "mvn archetype:generate..." command NOT WORKING

I installed Maven 3.1.1 for the first time. In the "Maven in 5 Minutes" getting-started guide
http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html
it says to verify the installation with
mvn --version
I got the expected response:
Apache Maven 3.1.1 (0728685237757ffbf44136acec0402957f723d9a; 2013-09-17 11:22:22-0400)

Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
In the next step, under "Creating a project" it says to create a new directory, open a command prompt in that directory, and execute
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
I created a directory called xjmaven, ran the command in it, and it's not working. This is the response:

I looked up the parameters groupId, artifactId and archetypeArtifactId, and have tried some different values (as you can see above), but I still get the same BUILD FAILURE response.
I manually put the pom.xml file (from in the same webpage) in the xjmaven directory, and ran it again. It downloaded a bunch of stuff (although not to xjmaven), but then failed with this message:

I deleted pom.xml (it's the only file in the directory...the stuff it downloaded is not there), and started over again. Everything happens (badly) as I write above.
I remember trying Maven a few years ago, and could also not get past the getting-started stage.
If anyone has some advice on how to get past this, it would be appreciated. Really frustrated.

Maybe you are using Windows PowerShell?
If so, you'll need to put quotes around the parameter definitions:
mvn archetype:generate "-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes" "-DgroupId=com.mycompany.app" "-DartifactId=my-app"

You have some syntactical errors while executing the generate goal. Moreover, you need not create the pom.xml or any dir sturcture. You will notice that the generate goal creates a directory with the same name given as the artifactId.
e.g. you are missing the convention like -DgroupId should be com.company.app (not a big issue though), having space in -Darchetype ArtifactId, etc.
I just tried below and it worked :
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false

I was having a similar issue on powershell. I switched to command prompt and executed the same command and it works fine. Command that works on command prompt: mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.myapp-DartifactId=hellomaven -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
The one that runs on powershell:
mvn archetype:generate "-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes" "-DgroupId=com.myapp" "-DartifactId=my-app"
