Solution

  • This error means that you must not modify the project structure and build configuration like project dependencies, compiler settings, sources/resources directories etc using IDE UI dialogs. Instead, you must do corresponding changes in the Maven pom.xml file.

    Because otherwise you will loose all such changes made in IDE UI after the project fill be Reloaded by the IDE from the maven build files (pom.xml).
