Searching the archives hasn't shed light.
                Please open an issue with JIRA and post the full exception sequence, so that we can try to output a meaningful error message.

Apparently, OpenJDK does not have a native JPEG encoder. Get an Oracle JDK, and try building with the following command:
JAVA_HOME="/path/to/oracle/jdk" mvn clean compile
