Maven 3.9.13 and later does not run using jdk 1.8

[anatoly-spb]

Affected version

3.9.13, 3.9.14

Bug description

I try to build empty project with simple pom.xml with maven 3.9.13 and 3.9.14 using jdk 1.8:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<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/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

  <groupId>unknown</groupId>
  <artifactId>unknown</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

  <properties>
    <maven.compiler.source>8</maven.compiler.source>
    <maven.compiler.target>8</maven.compiler.target>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
  </properties>

</project>

and get the following:

[cstamas]

Any extension being used? How did you install Maven? Did you check tarball/zip integrity?

[cstamas]

Still cannot reproduce. Used your settings.xml and whatever I do, it works. Your error claims this field is not present in one of the HttpClient classes (not Maven):
https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/4.5.x/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java#L151

Unsure why. Check binary hash of that JAR and compare with this one
https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/org/apache/httpcomponents/httpclient/4.5.14/

[anatoly-spb]

The sha1 of C:\tools\apache-maven-3.9.14\lib\httpclient-4.5.14.jar is

Can you try with -e (should show full causality) or -X (debug logging) to get some more info about this?

In the meantime I found this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1753
So to repeat the question: do you have any extension or anything loaded into maven?

I have created clear environment:

1. install bellsoft jdk 1.8
2. download maven 3.9.14
3. create empty project with simple pom
4. try to build

Here is my log with -X option: https://gist.github.com/anatoly-spb/770176a3747f84fdf70be163a728bf39#file-mvn3-9-14-log

Does -e tell more?

Unfortunatly with -e there is the same output as with -X.
