Fixed. I downloaded Maven 3.0.5 separately and extracted to C:\springsource\apache-maven-3.0.5. (STS was using Maven 3.0.3) Then in STS went to Windows->Preferences from the menu, searched for "installations" to find the Maven installations page.

All new projects also don't have the error anymore. Win.
