I got the following error message when I tried to create a Maven project in eclipse. Many have posted about proxies in settings.xml file and also flush the .m2 folder forcin
In my case the error was: CoreException: Could not calculate build plan: Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:2.3.2 ....
With eclipse luna from console in the pom.xml folder
mvn clean
mvn install
With Juno I had to had this to my pom.xml
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-compiler-plugin
2.3.2
And then
mvn install
And then from eclipse right click>maven>update project * Once the plugin is donwloaded you can remove the plugin from your pom.xml
