Compiler error “archive for required library could not be read” - Spring Tool Suite

Question

I am starting to configure my development environment and I am using Spring Tool Suite 2.8.1 along with m2E 1.01.

As far as I can tell, since this is a Maven Project

Answer 1

This could be due to you have added spring-licence.txt file to your web app libraries.

I had similar issue and resolved after removing that text file. In libraries it will expect jar file only.
