Upgrade your m2e extensions instead downgrade.

From Help > Install New Software.., add a new repository (via the Add.. option)

Specify name for your plugin and add path http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/.m2e/connectors/m2eclipse-mavenarchiver/0.17.2/N/LATEST/

once you are done with installation, please restart eclipse and update your project.

I found my answer   I looked into the pom for any plugins that have a dependency on the maven-archiver and found the maven-jar-plugin does   It was using the latest 3 0 0 version   When I downgraded to 2 6 it seems to fix the issue  -

I had the same problem with a spring boot project  The solution was to downgrade the spring-boot-starter-parent dependency version from 2 0 0 RELEASE to 1 5 10 RELEASE you can move to any stable version   from    lt parent gt       lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt       lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-parent lt  artifactId gt       lt version gt 2 0 0 RELEASE lt  version gt       lt relativePath  gt   lt  -- lookup parent from repository -- gt   lt  parent gt    to   lt parent gt           lt groupId gt org springframework boot lt  groupId gt           lt artifactId gt spring-boot-starter-parent lt  artifactId gt           lt version gt 1 5 10 RELEASE lt  version gt           lt relativePath  gt   lt  -- lookup parent from repository -- gt       lt  parent gt

I encountered the same issue after updating the maven-jar-plugin to its latest version  at the time of writing   3 0 2  Eclipse 4 5 2 started flagging the pom xml file with the org apache maven archiver MavenArchiver getManifest error and a Maven   Update Project   would not fix it   Easy solution  downgrade to 2 6 version Indeed a possible solution is to get back to version 2 6  a further update of the project would then remove any error  However  that s not the ideal scenario and a better solution is possible  update the m2e extensions  Eclipse Maven integration    Better solution  update Eclipse m2e extensions From Help   Install New Software    add a new repository  via the Add   option   pointing to the following URL    https   repo1 maven org maven2  m2e connectors m2eclipse-mavenarchiver 0 17 2 N LATEST    Then follow the update wizard as usual  Eclipse would then require a restart  Afterwards  a further Update Project   on the concerned Maven project would remove any error and your Maven build could then enjoy the benefit of the latest maven-jar-plugin version     Additonal notes The reason for this issue is that from version 3 0 0 on  the concerned component  the maven-archiver and the related plexus-archiver has been upgraded to newer versions  breaking internal usages  via reflections  of the m2e integration in Eclipse  The only solution is then to properly update Eclipse  as described above  Also note  while Eclipse would initially report errors  the Maven build  e g  from command line  would keep on working perfectly  this issue is only related to the Eclipse-Maven integration  that is  to the IDE
