SeekTool - what can that be?

When doing a mvn test on a Java project on Win10 I get 2 failure notes:
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] T E S T S
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] SeekTools: Seek for the Project Tool Folder (give option '-h' for help)
[ERROR] ERROR: reached root of filesystem
... test runs smoothly, but Surefire reports:
[INFO] Results:
[INFO]
[INFO] Tests run: 5, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0
[INFO]
[ERROR] There are test failures.
I am using Maven 3.6.3 and Java 11.0.10 on Win10.
When doing the same to the same project on Debian-10, I get no such errors. Here I am using Maven 3.6.0 and Java 11.0.9.
I doubt that the small version difference causes the failures. But I got no clue how to start to solve them. Google did not help.
I am applying the plugins
maven-compiler-plugin 3.8.1
maven-surefire-plugin 3.0.0-M5
Do you got any hint for me how to approach this problem?
The complete output is here.
The pom.xml is here

#ngong
<forkCount>0</forkCount> and <forkMode>never</forkMode> is not a fix.
You are using JDK11. I guess you do not use JPMS.
We have a bug in Surefire and you can workaround it by <useModulePath>false</useModulePath>.
Setting forkCount to zero or forkMode to never is inherently wrong idea in this case because any changes in the environment may affect your tests on any machine.

Differences in Maven builds between local (Windows / IntelliJ) and remote (Linux)?

I'm seeing something odd where I'm doing a Maven build that is implementing the swagger doclet for our API documentation (https://github.com/ryankennedy/swagger-jaxrs-doclet). When I do the build as reccommended there on the github page it builds fine locally on my Windows machine. The strangeness occurs when I try to do the exact same build on my Lunix vm and I get an error about unparsable POM files. A big difference I'm noticing is on the local machine there's a jar being pulled in that doesn't exist on the linux box: jaxrs-doclet-parent. This I'm assuming has something to do with the unparseable pom file error on the vm. Does anyone have an idea why a build would execute successfully on Windows (built via IntelliJ) but not on Linux?
Maven version is 3.0.3 on linux box and version is 3.2.1 on local windows machine
Here's the build error I am referring to:
[INFO] BUILD FAILURE

Turns out it was the maven version. On the linux box it was 3.0.3 and needed to be upgraded. Once I upgraded to 3.2.1 it built ok.

Maven: Failed to parse plugin descriptor for org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.1.1

I have configured maven 3.2.2 and JBoss EAP 6.1 in centos 6.1;I have installed these things in a remote vm machine and accessing them using PuTTY
I have tried to run a quick start program helloworld-jms program using the command
`mvn clean compile exec:java`
it is giving the error saying
`[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

i thought problem is with the proxy settings and i went to /root/.m2/settings.xml and changed the proxy settings also still this problem is remaining
I have also removed the repository under .m2 folder and clean installed maven using the command
`mvn -U clean install`
it gave me a message build successful; and new repository appeared
again I tried to run the program with the command mvn clean compile exec:java
I couldn't locate the error
Please help me what could be the error and how to solve it; I have checked earlier posts and tried the best I could

Maven error: unmappable character for encoding Cp1251

If someone could put a working draft of NetBeans or Eclipse!

This is interesting, as your pom.xml mentions
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
.. but the error message complains about Cp1251 encoding. Does the maven output mention anything else related to source encodings?
My recommendation is generally to not use any high-ASCII characters in your code, and use the \uxxxx notation instead as needed.
You can make the conversion from UTF-8 to escaped unicode at online conversion sites like http://www.endmemo.com/convert/EMUnicode.php (this particular one seems to strip leading zeroes, I don't think that's legal in Java)

In my case I resolved that problem by setting new environment variable:
JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
In the command line executing maven, run current command before executing maven command:
SET JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

You have characters in that file which are likely not mapped in the Windows codepage (which is the reference to Cp1251). Try changing the project encoding to UTF-8 or similar. Look into different encoding schemes.

Maven Error No POM in this Project when performing archetype:generate

I am trying my hands on the Akka Pi java tutorials
I am trying to creaate a maven project as stated in the tutorial
but any time I enter the command to create a maven project I get an error.
Below are the command and the Error.
C:\Program Files\akka-2.0.2>mvn archetype:generate \

Exception
looks like maven is requesting for the POM file but it is not stated in the tutrials that I have to create a POM before generating the project.
I am actually new too maven so pardon me.
I am using maven version :3.0.4
and akka version 2.0.2
but the tutorial uses akka version 2.0.1 but i donn't think that is the problem
any suggestion please.
thank you

remove the \ then it should start to query for more informations.
I have no windows here, but on linux it shows the same behavior with
mvn archetype:generate /
HTH R

When some tutorials describes a mvn command to be executed that is covered in two rows or more, they might add an extra backslash at the new line (of the instruction) to indicate that the same command continues on next line.
This backslash should be removed BEFORE executing the command. For instance the command for setting up a Jersey Web Application might look like this:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=jersey-quickstart-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=2.2
but should be launched as below, without backslash:
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.glassfish.jersey.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId=jersey-quickstart-webapp -DarchetypeVersion=2.2
If NOT removing this extra backslash you might get the error you described above.
