Maven errors to get a property from another pom

I have 3 pom.xml,
In one pom I have the profiles for test/prod.., depending on which one is active there are 2 folder it could be choose, the problem is when I update maven I get this error:

No problems when generating maven artifactory.
Any idea how to avoid these error?

the solution is modify maven-war-plugin adding version 3.3.2:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.3.2</version>
<configuration>
<webXml>WebContent\WEB-INF\web.xml</webXml>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
thanks

spring boot package does not exist error

I'm compiling my project with mvn clean package, and failed with package does not exist.
The detail command:
Get the jar file target/xxxx.jar by running mvn clean package in source project.
install this jar file by running mvn install:install-file -Dfile=lib/xxxx.jar -DgroupId=com.company -DartifactId=source-package-name -Dversion=1.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar
add code to target project, which will use some functions in source project
compile target project by running mvn clean package, and it just failed with package does not exist

Ideally, you shouldn't use a Spring Boot application (something that's been repackaged) as a dependency. From the documentation:
Like a war file, a Spring Boot application is not intended to be used as a dependency. If your application contains classes that you want to share with other projects, the recommended approach is to move that code into a separate module. The separate module can then be depended upon by your application and other projects.
If the proposed solution isn't possible in your situation, the documentation goes on to describe an alternative:
If you cannot rearrange your code as recommended above, Spring Boot’s Maven and Gradle plugins must be configured to produce a separate artifact that is suitable for use as a dependency. The executable archive cannot be used as a dependency as the executable jar format packages application classes in BOOT-INF/classes. This means that they cannot be found when the executable jar is used as a dependency.
To produce the two artifacts, one that can be used as a dependency and one that is executable, a classifier must be specified. This classifier is applied to the name of the executable archive, leaving the default archive for use as dependency.
To configure a classifier of exec in Maven, the following configuration can be used:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classifier>exec</classifier>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Maven doesn't copy empty directories to webapps folder while creating war file

I have he following structure of a maven web application
When I execute mvn install command it's creating war file but if you will look in target directory/sureportal you can easily see that lots of sub folders inside webapps directory are missing. What is wrong?
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 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

You can have a maven-war-plugin and configure to include empty folders.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<includeEmptyDirectories>true</includeEmptyDirectories>
</configuration>
</plugin>

In addition to the answer of sbaitmangalkar, insert the maven-war-plugin to the build section of your POM:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<!- if you don't have a web.xml, otherwise "true" -->
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
<includeEmptyDirectories>true</includeEmptyDirectories>
<includes>**/*</includes>
<!-- if want your web files to be filterd -->
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/webapp</directory>
<includes>
<include>**/*</include>
</includes>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources/META-INF</directory>
<!-- only if needed in your project -->
<targetPath>/META-INF</targetPath>
<includes>
<include>context.xml</include>
</includes>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This tells the build process explicitly what to do.

Try running mvn clean install. This will clear your compiled files first and ensures that all of it is compiled from scratch. Please check this thread for more details how-is-mvn-clean-install-different-from-mvn-install
Good luck.
