Answer 1

I had similar troubles in eclipse and the only way to fix it for me was to

• Remove the web module
• Apply
• Change the module version
• Add the module
• Configure (Further configuration available link at the bottom of the dialog)
• Apply

Just make sure you configure the web module before applying it as by default it will look for your web files in /WebContent/ and this is not what Maven project structure should be.

EDIT:

Here is a second way in case nothing else helps

• Exit eclipse, go to your project in the file system, then to .settings folder.
• Open the org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml , make backup, and remove the web module entry.
• You can also modify the web module version there, but again, no guarantees.
