I uninstalled the maven plugin but when trying to run the project that was perfectly running before the plugin I have \"Referenced classpath provider does not exist: org.maven.i
This helped me http://sha.nnoncarey.com/blog/archives/33
If you get this error when launching a Run Configuration in Eclipse with the IAM (Maven) >plugin:
Referenced classpath provider does not exist: >org.maven.ide.eclipse.launchconfig.classpathProvider
It’s probably because your Run Configuration was created on an old project, and has bad >entries in the Classpath section. The solution is to delete the Run Configuration and create >a new one.

I commented out string with CLASSPATH_PROVIDER.
The project could be having old/incorrect settings. Assuming it is a maven project, one possibility is you could regenerate the Eclipse settings for the project by
mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse
