Error shown when creating new Maven project in Eclipse

Delete maven resource plugin jars (delete the whole folder) from this location - {user.home}.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-resources-plugin and then try to rebuild again.


The following steps worked for me:

  1. Close Eclipse.
  2. Navigate to user home directory. (For example: "C:\Users\YourUserName\.m2")
  3. Delete the "repository" folder.
  4. Re-open Eclipse.
  5. Click on the Maven project that has an issue and go to "Project" --> "Clean".
  6. Right-click on the project and go to "Maven" --> "Update Project...".
  7. Close Eclipse.
  8. Open Eclipse.
  9. Click on the project folder in the "Project Explorer" window (usually on the left).
  10. Hit the F5 key a few times to Refresh your project.
  11. Done!

These steps worked for me. If this works for you make sure to upvote, otherwise drop a comment.
