Eclipse loops endlessly: Invoking 'Maven Project Builder'

Question

Ugh! My Eclipse is stuck in an endless loop:

• No operations to display at this time
• Refreshing Workspace Building
• Workspace. Invoking \'Maven Pro

Answer 1

Eclipse -> Preferences -> Maven -> Installations Remove additional installation and using EMBEDDED helped me.

The trigger was, that I wanted to have a separated maven setup for SLF4J: Class path contains multiple SLF4J bindings.
