maven-compiler-plugin:3.1:compile java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <*> at index 99

I have followed this https://support.smartbear.com/readyapi/docs/testing/integrations/ci-systems/maven/working.html help file to integrate Ready-Api to Maven.

I am using Ready-API 2.1 and Maven 3.5.  When I execute this command "mvn clean test" it downloads all of the dependencies and eventually fails with this error...

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?  I am searching high and wide for an answer online with no luck.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,
