Cause:
This is a standard error while making build in maven on Windows.
It occurs when your path contain’s special characters like ‘&’, ” etc.
Remove ampersand from the path and this should solve the problem. This is because mvn.bat cannot handle these characters in windows.

Solution: Remove ampersand “&” or special characters from path or username

Example:
Path: D:\workspace\dev&test\project1\mvn clean install (Error)
Rename the folder dev&test to devtest

Hope this Helps !
