Trying to package languagetool 3.6 for Fedora 25, but the build fails with these errors:

I cannot reproduce this - which version of Maven are you using? Are you calling this in LT's top directory, i.e. the one that contains languagetool-standalone and others as sub directories?

[mcepl]

This is the version of maven (packaged binary from Fedora 25 standard repos):

matej@mitmanek: projekty$ mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.3.9 (NON-CANONICAL_2016-07-01T11:53:38Z_mockbuild; 2016-07-01T13:53:38+02:00)
Maven home: /usr/share/maven
Java version: 1.8.0_111, vendor: Oracle Corporation

OS name: "linux", version: "4.9.3-200.fc25.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

and yes:

Even with the same version of Maven I cannot reproduce this. Does it help if you change <version>7</version> to <version>9</version> in the top-level pom.xml?

Closing, as there was no further feedback.
