Adding this as an answer as it may be helpful for someone. I was getting the exactly same errors while trying to deploy on tomcat7 using eclipse, and was still not working after trying above solutions. finally I tried outside eclipse using commandline(cmd) and it worked like a charm. obviously I needed to install maven on my machine and then set M2_Home user variable and path variable pointing to M2_HOME/bin.

Thanks.
