I've experiencing crashes on m2e Maven plugin for Eclipse (in STS) everytime it starts. This issue was treated in STS forum (link here), but, in my case, it didn't seem that was another plugin to cause conflict. STS was working fine, but without any clue it starts to crash during STS initialization. It have happened once two weeks before, and I have managed it by updating STS to its latest version. But now I'm using the latest version!
In this moment, a ss command in Host OSGi Console shows:

All Maven's dependencies for my project are disabled, and every import is broken in design time in Eclipse. Any idea on what is going wrong here and what would be a workaround? How do I uninstall m2e in order to reinstall it, if it is possible? Thanks!
I did a full reinstall of Spring Tool Suite. I do recommend to maintain original zip file of your STS version in order to do reinstall it at any given time, if needed. Very anoying crash, I hope Spring team pay attention and try to fix it in next release!
