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

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
