I am unable to bulid Maven Project - maven-3

Question

Please I am very new when comes to maven project and wildfly (JBoss) Server. I have a Java EE 7 project which I developed with NetBeans for Apache Tomcat 8. For some good reason I want to migrate to WildFly 8.
I have recreated the project on JBoss Studio 7.1 with all the Maven Dependencies. First attempt to run the project returns "Forbidden".
I tried to be sure the project is complied and deployed by running
mvn clean package

I read the suggested wiki but could't solve the issue still. Maybe because I am still new.Please I will appreciate your help on resolving this errors.

Answer 1

You are using Java 8, please try on Java 7 as some components may not support Java 8.
Similar problem is described here: maven-compilation-fails-without-explaining-why

Answer 2

I finally found what problem for failed compilation was, I have fixed that by correcting my POM.xml there was an error on my JAVA_HOME settings. though I am still getting "Forbidden" from the url which will need a different question thread if I am unable to resolve it.
<maven.compiler.executable>/absolute/path/to/bin/javac</maven.compiler.executable>
TO:
<maven.compiler.executable>${JAVA_HOME}/bin/javac</maven.compiler.executable>
