com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 3 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence. Error reading XML configuration file. It took a long time to solve the problem, because the configuration information of the plug-in is missing in pom.xml, and the encoding format needs to be specified as UTF-8. After I added a relatively complete plugins to the configuration, the problem was solved. The configuration of the plugin is as follows:
