Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 22

What happened

I am currentrly self-studying Spring Boot and Im stuck because my NetBeans 17 and Netbeans 12 both give me an error of "Error Executing Maven", Please help I have been on YouTube looking for solutions but to no aid because no on has has the same error as mine.

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

Java Maven Project

How to reproduce

When I run my Spring Boot project my NetBeans gives me an error of "Error Executing Maven"

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System

Windows 8 Single Language 64bit Operating System 2GB Ram !.90GHz

JDK

JDK 17 jdk-17.0.10_windows-x64_bin

Apache NetBeans packaging

Apache NetBeans provided installer, Apache NetBeans binary zip, Apache NetBeans platform

Anything else

I am new to Spring Boot so I don't have an in-depth idea of what I'm exactly doing wrong I added the settings/xml file to the project and I have set the path but I still get an error of "Error Executing Maven" it's like it can't even run because In even tried to create a Maven Java project from scratch instead of importing the one I got from start.io but still get the same exact error.

Are you willing to submit a pull request?

No

It so frustrating getting an error but don't have an idea why that could be I hope if I find the solution to this it helps everyone else starting out learning IT online on their own.

Please read the second red error line in the output. Maven uses a file named settings.xml as a global configuration source. The error clearly states, that it can't be parsed. Check the referenced file and ensure it is clean XML. If you don't know, that you need it, you can remove it, it is not needed for basic operation.

btw NetBeans 12.0 is quite old and does not support running on JDK 17. (but this is not going to fix your maven settings.xml)
