Answer 1

We faced the same issue with Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers (Juno Service Release 2), POM.xml simply has this "org.apache.maven.plugin.jar.JarMojo" error as shown in the above diagram.

This seems a version issue with newer Maven. Finally we install an older C:\apache-maven-3.0.5

Then inside Eclipse -> Windows -> Preference -> search "Maven" -> Installations, add the External C:\apache-maven-3.0.5

Then go Project -> Clean and right click on existing proect -> Maven -> Update Projects and maybe restart EClipse.

The error status will disappear.
