Spring Maven clean error - The requested profile "pom.xml" could not be activated because it does not exist
I'm trying to build a Spring-Boot *.war with maven, but I keep getting:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS

[WARNING] The requested profile "pom.xml" could not be activated because it does not exist.
After running the mvn: clean.
I have no idea why, I'm following this guide.

After the success, maven generates a target folder in the project, it's containing only the Manifest.mf, pom.properties and pom.xml.
I'm a beginner using maven/spring and I haven't find any clues about what it might be. Any help would be appreciated.

I was getting this same warning everytime I was doing 'maven clean'. I found the solution :
Step - 1 Right click on your project in Eclipse
Step - 2 Click Properties
Step - 3 Select Maven in the left hand side list.
Step - 4 You will notice "pom.xml" in the Active Maven Profiles text box on the right hand side. Clear it and click Apply.
Below is the screen shot :
Hope this helps. :)
The warning message
[WARNING] The requested profile "pom.xml" could not be activated because it does not exist.
means that you somehow passed -P pom.xml to Maven which means "there is a profile called pom.xml; find it and activate it". Check your environment and your settings.xml for this flag and also look at all <profile> elements inside the various XML files.
Usually, mvn help:effective-pom is also useful to see what the real POM would look like.
Now the error means that you tried to configure Maven to build Java 8 code but you're not using a Java 8 runtime. Solutions:
- Install Java 8
- Make sure Maven uses Java 8 if you have it installed.
JAVA_HOMEis your friend - Configure the Java compiler in your
pom.xmlto a Java version which you actually have.

- Introduction to Build Profiles
This link has solution of how to get it working. Removing "pom.xml" from the "Profiles:" line and then click "Run".
- Right click on your project in STS/ Eclipse.
- Click Properties.
- Click Maven on Left Pane.
- Clear pom.xml in the Active Maven Profiles text box on right hand side.
- Apply and close.
Enjoy :)
Goto Properties -> maven Remove the pom.xml from the activate profiles and follow the below steps.
Steps :
- Delete the .m2 repository
- Restart the Eclipse IDE
- Refresh and Rebuild it
