I was able to get around the original problem by mvn install from plugin directory.
Now, I have a different error:

Any tips greatly appreciated in solving. Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.5.1:testCompile
I tried skipping tests
mvn install -DskipTests
but this produced the same error
