I also faced a similar issue. I resolved it by downloading the correct apache maven plugins in the maven repository org / apache/ Maven/ plugins. IN my case, everything was working fine earlier and I had deleted .m2 repository completely. After that I started getting these issues with same iDE and newer IDE versions as well. The pom.xml showed error related to lifecycle mappings. On downloading the correct plugin, the workspace worked fine.
