Getting “The POM for is invalid, transitive dependencies (if any) will not be available” only in Eclipse

Question

I have recently upgraded to JAXB 2.2.11 and noticed in my Eclipse console the following message:

10/15/14, 11:42:46 PM GMT+2: [INFO] Creating new launch configur         


        

Answer 1

After further investigation it appears that I have the same problem as in this question:

Maven not picking JAVA_HOME correctly

The solution thanks to @rustyx (please upvote that answer):

To fix the issue you need to start Eclipse using the JRE from the JDK by adding something like this to eclipse.ini (before -vmargs!):

-vm
C:\\jre\bin\javaw.exe
