Answer 1

Fixed. I downloaded Maven 3.0.5 separately and extracted to C:\springsource\apache-maven-3.0.5. (STS was using Maven 3.0.3) Then in STS went to Windows->Preferences from the menu, searched for "installations" to find the Maven installations page. Added a new installation by pointing to the folder above. Applied. Then right clicked on existing project and chose Maven->Update Project. Error gone.

All new projects also don't have the error anymore. Win.

Answer 2

convert the packaging from jar to war. This solved my problem.

Answer 3

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.
