mvn release:prepare not committing changes

I am trying to release my project using maven release:prepare command. My code resides in gitlab and I have provided my project url in the pom.xml but while trying to update in Git it fails. Could someone help me with in understanding what I could be doing wrong.
Build plugin is:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5.3</version>
<configuration>
<tagNameFormat>r#{project.version}</tagNameFormat>
<autoVersionSubmodules>true</autoVersionSubmodules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
SCM tags are mentioned as below:
<scm>
<developerConnection>scm:git:https://gitlab-mac-p7.systems.private/test/testservice.git</developerConnection>
<tag>testservice-0.100.0-delete</tag>
</scm>
Below is the error stack trace:

In the surefire-report it says
# Created on 2018-09-04T07:34:08.345
Killing self fork JVM. Maven process died.
These are my maven and java versions:
Maven home: c:\username\Dev\apache-maven-3.5.2
Java version: 1.8, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: c:\username\Dev\jdk1.8\jre
When I run mvn clean test from intellij it works. It uses /c/Program Files (x86)/Jetbrains/IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 17.2.2/plugins/maven/lib/maven3/bin/mvn and it also works when I paste that in the command line.
Thanks for the help

In my case (openjdk11, maven 3.6, docker on windows 10) the solution was to update maven-surefire-plugin from 2.21.0 to 2.22.2.

Looks that its duplicate of surefire-error
The solution was:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>XXXXXXXXX.XXXXXX-some-version</version>
<!-- ADD THIS: --->
<configuration>
<skipTests>false</skipTests>
<testFailureIgnore>true</testFailureIgnore>
<forkMode>once</forkMode>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Maven Compiler Plugin Build Failure with Werror argument and present warnings marked to be skipped

I am trying to use Maven compiler plugin to show all warnings and to fail the build if any warnings are there by configuring "Werror" parameter. My Pom.xml file settings for maven compiler plug in is -
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.5.1</version>
<configuration>
<forceJavacCompilerUse>true</forceJavacCompilerUse>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
<compilerArgs>
<arg>-Xlint:all</arg>
<arg>-Xlint:-deprecation</arg>
<arg>-Xlint:-unchecked</arg>
<arg>-Xlint:-rawtypes</arg>
<arg>-g</arg>
<arg>Werror</arg>
</compilerArgs>
<verbose>true</verbose>
<showWarnings>true</showWarnings>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In my project , I have these 3 warnings - deprecation, unchecked, rawtypes.
If I remove these arguments, then the build fails which is perfectly fine. -
<arg>-Xlint:-deprecation</arg>
<arg>-Xlint:-unchecked</arg>
<arg>-Xlint:-rawtypes</arg>
But when I add these arguments, compiler should ignore these kind of warnings and build should succeed.
But still Build is failing and doesn't show any specific error.
Build succeeds if I remove this argument.
<arg>Werror</arg>
So I am not able to run a successful build If we skip some of the warnings which are present in the project. Is there any way to achieve the same ?
PFB the error output of the mvn build command -

After doing lot of changes I was able to finally figure out how to build successfully with "Werror" flag if all the Lint warnings are fixed.
I removed - "true"
Could not figure out exactly whats the reason why the build fails when we use Javac compiler.
Along with added UTF-8 encoding and suppressed Processing Lint warnings.
Working copy of configuration is -
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.5.1</version>
<configuration>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>

After upgrading, getting "Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1:test" and "test(s) <[]> cannot be found"

I upgraded Selenium to support GeckoDriver, and then Jenkins with it. I'm pretty new to this behind-the-scenes-upgrading stuff. Since we're running Selenium 3, we no longer use the Selenium Grid plugin. I haven't been able to get any tests to run since then.
We run Windows 7 machines for the Jenkins master and slaves. If it makes any difference, we use Java. We also have a framework sitting atop Selenium.
In particular is this error that really bugs me:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1:test (default-test) on project example-project: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.19.1:test failed: There was an error in the forked process
[ERROR] org.testng.TestNGException:
[ERROR]
[ERROR] The test(s) <[]> cannot be found.
[ERROR] at org.testng.TestNG.extractTestNames(TestNG.java:436)
I tried a little to alter the forking config but to no avail.
I've also played with the TestNG scope in the POM, but turning it to test causes TestNG classes to "not exist".

Where the CustomReportListener class is inside the automation-util JAR, which is stored in src/resources/lib typically, though I've also tested it in a class source folder (src/main/test/classes).

Your surefire plugin configuration indicates that you would be choosing both the suite file and also the set of tests ( <test> tags) at run time via JVM arguments.
<property>
<name>testnames</name>
<value>${testname}</value>
</property>
Please ensure that you pass a valid value to the set of <test> tags via the JVM argument -Dtestnames.

Replace maven compiler plugin in pom.xml with following plugin. Hope so it will work.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
<version>3.6.1</version>

I had a similar issue. This occurs when you import the project and try to build it.
Make sure you have these steps setup properly:
Window->Preferences->Java->Installed JREs =pointing to jdk 1.8
Right click on the project and select Properties and then click on 'Project Facets' and make sure the right selections are made like Dynamic Web Module and version number, Java and its version. On the right pane ,select the Runtimes tab and make sure to check the correct Tomcat version that you are trying to run the project on.

Maven - JAVA_HOME location and Compilation failure executing javac

---skippable part---
Hi all, first time here and hopefully I'm not writing a clone of anything else. I spent days looking for cases like mine and all the things I tried failed to work, or couldn't simply find the correct solution for me.
I'm trying to use Maven on another student's project I'm working on (have to continue what he already did) for a school project, on a pc with Ubuntu 14.04. I'm in my project directory downloaded from github and I need to create a .war file and use that for Tomcat.
I was following a guide of that student, and probably I'm a little confused on what to do.
---tl:dr i need help---
So when I launch mvn -version, I get this:
Java version: 1.7.0_101, vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre Default locale: it_IT, platform
encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "3.19.0-58-generic", arch:
"amd64", family: "unix"
Few days ago I had problems with $JAVA_HOME environment variable and probably solved it managing the /etc/environment file, in fact I don't get any error about this. Now when I do a mvn package I get

So what should I do to proceed now? I've no clue..

Your maven project wants java 1.8 but your compiler is 1.7. Look in the pom.xml file for something like
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
</configuration>
and change that to 1.7 OR download the 1.8 jdk.
