Maven project error: [ERROR] Command execution failed. org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process exited with an error: 3 (Exit value: 3)

Question

I've made sure I'm not behind a VPN, I've made sure I have the right versions of node.js, NPM and angular installed for this project but I am still getting an error.
Eclipse: Sept 2021 
JDK 1.8 
Node: 14.20 
NPM: 6.14.17
Angular CLI: 9.1.15 (global version is 15.2.8)

[ERROR] Command execution failed.

I've tried to build using multiple different versions of node.js (14, 16, 18 and 20) and the corresponding versions of NPM and angular. For a bit of reference, I started to get this issue when my Node.js got automatically updated.
