ubuntu - Unable to build develop environment for Geonetwork 3

I've been trying to build Geonetwork development environment using the steps from https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/tree/develop/software_development

Here is the stacktrace, when building common utils:

Here is the output from mvn -v:

Apache Maven 2.2.1 (rdebian-14)
Java version: 1.7.0_80
Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle/jre

Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux" version: "3.13.0-57-generic" arch: "amd64" Family: "unix"

Using Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 64.

I've already deleted my /home/.m2 directory,and even tried from a fresh vagrant box with Ubuntu 12.04 with the same error.

Also tried for the branch 3.0.x and 3.0.1 tag, all of them seems to fail.

Any ideas, on how to get the development environment up?

Answer

That's weird, you have the same environment as me and I can do it.

Did you install the jdk version of Java or only the jre? Try javac -version to check it.

UPDATE: As stated in this issue you should use Maven 3 https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/issues/1111#issuecomment-123562337
