I even installed m2e after searching in marketplace

Please go easy, this question comes in as an attempt to learn something totally new to me.
Do i need some plugin or something to resolve this? If so, is there any universal kind of plugin to avoid any such future error?
IDE : Eclipse Kepler

P.S :

I have already browsed old threads but no luck :

Solution

  • The problem is that m2e requires one eclipse plugin for each maven plugin that you use (it's actually a bit more complex than that, but in practice, there is an almost one to one correspondence between Eclipse plugins and maven plugins for your project).

    There are two solutions:

    1. Use the maven-eclipse plugin to automatically generate all of your eclipse project files. From the command line, run mvn eclipse:eclipse to do this. You should also uninstall m2e so that it doesn't try to manage your maven project.
    2. Install Spring-Ide. I'd recommend going with a fresh installation, but you can also install it into an existing instance of Eclipse. This comes pre-installed with all of the m2e plugins that you will need.
