      <version>1.8</version>
      <vendor>sun</vendor>

    <configuration>
      <jdkHome>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172</jdkHome>
    </configuration>
  </toolchain>
</toolchains>

Please help where to resolve the problem. Thanks in advance.

change the version in pom to 1.8 instead of jdk1.8.0_172

                <configuration>
                    <toolchains>
                        <jdk>
                            <version>1.8</version>
                            <vendor>sun</vendor>
                        </jdk>
                    </toolchains>
                </configuration>
