maven-resources-plugin:2.5 - Cannot create resource output directory

Question

I occasionally receive this error when I build my project with

>mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.0.5 (r01de14724cdef164cd33c7c8c2fe155faf9602         


        

Answer 1

In my case the parent directory inside which maven was trying to create a directory was root, so I did a sudo chown -R : /path/to/directory to change permissions before rerunning the mvn command.

Answer 2

You can use the following in pom.xml

<build>
    <directory>${project.basedir}/target1</directory>
</build>

Answer 3

In my case, I opened the jar in 7zip and I opened the target folder. I run my application and received this error. After closing 7zip, the application run fine and build successfully.
