I'm running on MAC and I was running mvn install on my Java project and I got this error. I checked online for a whole day but most answers are about the / and , however I have no local changes and my team could build the repo fine, and I could build successfully before. Also I saw someone has faced the same issue but after they fixed the JAVA version it worked fine for them.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68003423/java-lang-illegalargumentexception-malformed-uxxxx-encoding-while-mvn-install?newreg=96abc52a5b8e46d9a72155ef37f33c81. I have tried all the methods and they are not working: I have tried reinstalling JAVA, MAVEN, also updating JAVA/MAVEN version. I recall I faced similar issue before and when I switch JAVA/MAVEN to older version it worked fine, but this time it does not work anymore. Could anyone help with it? I really appreciate it. I tried with MAVEN 3.8, MAVEN 3.5, MAVEN 3.3 and they are all having this issue. I was using JAVA11 and having some issues then I switched to JAVA8 and uninstalled JAVA11.
