Answer 1

I imported a project as 'Existing Maven Project' and was getting this issue.

Resolution: Changed Java Build Path of JRE System Library to Workspace defailt JRE [jdk 1.8]

Steps:

Right click on project -> build path -> configure build path -> Libraries Tab -> double click JRE System Library -> change to Workspace defailt JRE [jdk 1.8]

Answer 2

In my case I had to delete the jars inside .m2/repository and then did a Maven->Update Maven Project

Looks like the jars were corrupt and deleting and downloading the fresh jar fixed the issue.

This answer from here helped me:

You should take a look at the build path of your project to check whether the referenced libraries are still there. So right-click on your project, then "Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries" and check whether you still have the spring library JARs in the place that is mentioned there. If not, just re-add them to your classpath within this dialog.
