Question

I have imported maven project in STS  when I run update update project I receive    Updating Maven Project   Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind 4   Is there a workaround for this

This error is also thrown if the update command is used on a project instrumented for code coverage with Clover.

To resolve in this scenario: Un-instrument the project folders you wish to update. Run the maven update then instrument for code coverage again.

I couldn t get mvn eclipse clean etc to work with Kepler    However I changed creating and extending variables to just using external jars in my eclipse classpath  This was reflected in no var s in my  classpath    This corrected the problem  I was able to do a Maven update

Upgrading from Kepler to Luna worked for me   I had just added some components for Java 1 8 support  It seems that they where not as compatible as I would like or that I mixed the wrong ones  It really caused a lot of problems  Trying to update the system reported errors as they couldn t fulfill some dependencies  Maven upgrades didn t work  Tried a lot of things   So  if there is no reason to avoid the upgrade just add the luna repository to avalilable software sites  Luna  http   download eclipse org releases luna     and  check for updates   It is better to have all the components with the same version and there are some nice new features

I m using Eclipse 4 3 2  Kepler  with M2E 1 4 x and felt over this problem several times   In my case the  mvn eclipse eclipse  command also generates Checkstyle  PMD and Findbugs configuration so  mvn eclipse clean  does not help me because it drops all those config files again   The best solution for me was to delete all   classpath  files   find   -name   classpath  -delete   and import the project into eclipse afterwards

Before importing the project  it should be converted into eclipse project   mvn eclipse  eclipse Then i found the following error  An internal error occurred during   Importing Maven projects  Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind 4  Where is the value kind    var  that M2E does not recognize and therefore throws the error   Now type this  mvn eclipse  clean  Now refresh the project in eclipse or re-import

This issue has been fixed in m2e 1 5 0 which is available for Eclipse Kepler  4 3  and Luna  4 4   Please see https   bugs eclipse org bugs show bug cgi id 374332 c14  The problem is caused by the fact that STS  the Spring IDE Eclipse   as well Eclipse and other Eclipse based IDE s  use the m2e clipse  plugin but that eclipse eclipse has been probably been run on the project  When m2e encounters a  var   classpath entry  it throws this error    The update sites are specified at the following url   http   eclipse org m2e m2e-downloads html  If you can t use m2e 1 5 0 for any reason  then      Disable the maven nature for the project  via the right-click menu  Run mvn eclipse clean  while your project is open in STS eclipse   Depending on the timing  you might need to do a refresh or two on the project before re-enabling the maven nature  You should be able to see that your project has lost it s Maven nature   The eclipse clean goal just deletes the  project   classpath and  settings  files directories  You can also just remove those files  again while the project is open  instead of running mvn eclipse clean   Re-enable the maven nature   Most of the time  this can be done by right-clicking on the project in question in the package explorer pane  and then choosing  Configure -   Convert to Maven Project

I tried Marco s steps but no luck  Instead if you just get the latest m2e plugin from the link he provides and one by one right click on each project -  Maven -  Update Dependencies the error still pops up but the issue is resolved  That is to say the warnings disappear in the Markers view  I encountered this issue after importing some projects into SpringSource Tool Suite  STS   When I returned to my Eclipse Juno installation the warnings were displaying  Seeing that I had m2e 1 1 already installed I tried Marco s steps to no avail  Getting the latest version fixed it however

Sometimes  even re-importing the Maven project will not work  Updating the project correctly in eclipse is not a deterministic process  The only 100  fail safe procedure I ve found is    Disable Maven Nature  run mvn eclipse clean  restart  cross your fingers and Pray 3 times  If this won t work  delete the project  run mvn eclipse clean  re-import refresh  pray and use the force  If this still doesn t work  restart Eclipse  or even better your computer  While waiting for the reboot  you can make a random donation to fix your Karma  Repeat step 2 and don t forget to pray and control your anger  Anger leads to hate  Hate leads to suffering  Try all the other answers posted in this thread  You might need to try them all for 3 times at least before giving up  Format your Computer  re-install Eclipse and Maven  No need to pray anymore  all gods hate you anyway Delete your git project  burn the physical drive that stored the remote repository  and write your project from scratch  Find a time machine  travel to the past and convince yourself to follow another  non-programming career or at least to avoid Java

Seeing all other answers  I found for me a simpler way   I just removed all lines in the  classpath  editing with eclipse  containing a var and used maven -  update project without an error
