An internal error occurred during Updating Maven Project Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind 4

Question

As the title mentioned I have the following problem  I use Eclipse with Maven Nature and when I update my Maven Project  I get this error      An internal error occurred during   Updating Maven Project         Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind 4   The solution that always comes back is the following    rightclick project  remove maven nature mvn eclipse clean  with project open in eclipse STS   sometimes they suggest to do mvn eclipse eclipse next  rightclick project and reenable maven nature   Now I exhaustively tried all combinations several times  But I always keep getting the above error  The error starting occurring when I had to mvn eclipse eclipse the project  Before it was always running fine using only m2eclipse features and setting everything in eclipse

After trying all these procedures it still didn't work for me. What did work was

go into File Explorer and delete the .classpath file under the project's root folder
run Maven update within Eclipse, and check Force update of Snapshots/Releases

Our current work required integrating a number of disparate projects so unfortunately use of SNAPSHOTs in a production environment were required (taboo in Maven circles)!

I removed my  classpath file in my project directory to correct this issue   No need to remove the Maven Nature from the project in Eclipse   The specific error I was getting was  Project  my-project-name  is missing required Java project   org some package-9 3 0  But my project wasn t dependent on org some package in any way     Perhaps an old version of the project relied on it and Maven wasn t properly updating the  classpath file

My tricky solution is    Open your windows Task Manager   Find the Javaw exe process and highlight it  then End it by End Process In eclipse project browser  right click it and use Maven - gt  Update Project again     Issue is resolved    If you have Tomcat Server Running in Eclipse  you need to refresh project before restart Tomcat Server

Your command line mvn eclipse project generator may not be the same version as that of your eclipse  and eclipse doesn t understand for your command line tool is generating  Just use eclipse s in this case    remove the project from eclipse  including all modules if multi-module  run  rm -rf  settings   project  classpath to delete eclipse project files  also from modules  import your project as an existing maven project
