I had similar troubles in eclipse and the only way to fix it for me was to

Remove the web module
Apply
Change the module version
Add the module
Configure (Further configuration available link at the bottom of the dialog)
Apply

Just make sure you configure the web module before applying it as by default it will look for your web files in /WebContent/ and this is not what Maven project structure should be.

EDIT:

Here is a second way in case nothing else helps

Exit eclipse, go to your project in the file system, then to .settings folder.
Open the org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml , make backup, and remove the web module entry.
You can also modify the web module version there, but again, no guarantees.

I had the same problem and fixed this by editing org eclipse wst common project facet core xml   In this file  I was able to change the following line   lt installed facet  jst web  version  3 1   gt    back to    lt installed facet  jst web  version  3 0   gt    That seemed to fix the problem for me

In a specific case the issue is due to the maven-archetype-webapp which is released for a dynamic webapp  faceted to the ver 2 5  see the produced web xml and the related xsd  and it s related to eclipse  When you try to change the project facet to dynamic webapp   2 5 the src folder structure will syntactically change  the 2 5 is different from 3 1   but not fisically   This is why you will face in a null pointer exception if you apply to the changes   To solve it you have to set from the project facets configuration the Default configuration  Apply the changes  then going into the Java Build Path you have to remove the  src folder and create the  src main java folder at least  it s also required  src main resources and  src test java to be compliant  re-change into the required configuration you desire  3 0  3 1  and then do apply

I was running on Win7  Tomcat7 with maven-pom setup on Eclipse Mars with maven project enabled  On a NOT running server I only had to change from 3 1 to 3 0 on this screen    For me it was important to have Dynamic Web Module disabled  Then change the version and then enable Dynamic Web Module again

If you want to use version 3 1 you need to use the following schema     http   xmlns jcp org xml ns javaee web-app 3 1 xsd   Note that 3 0 and 3 1 are different  in 3 1 there s no Sun mentioned  so simply changing 3 0 xsd to 3 1 xsd won t work    This is how it should look like    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt web-app xmlns xsi  http   www w3 org 2001 XMLSchema-instance           xsi schemaLocation  http   xmlns jcp org xml ns javaee            xmlns web  http   xmlns jcp org xml ns javaee web-app 3 1 xsd           version  3 1  xmlns  http   xmlns jcp org xml ns javaee  gt    lt  web-app gt    Also  make sure you re depending on the latest versions in your pom xml  That is     lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt maven-war-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 6 lt  version gt       lt configuration gt                   lt  configuration gt   lt  plugin gt    and    lt dependency gt       lt groupId gt javax servlet lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt javax servlet-api lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 3 1 0 lt  version gt       lt scope gt provided lt  scope gt   lt  dependency gt    Finally  you should compile with Java 7 or 8    lt plugin gt       lt groupId gt org apache maven plugins lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt maven-compiler-plugin lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 3 3 lt  version gt       lt configuration gt           lt source gt 1 7 lt  source gt           lt target gt 1 7 lt  target gt       lt  configuration gt   lt  plugin gt
