Answer 1

Finally my issue got resolved. I was importing the project as "Existing project into workspace". This was completely wrong. After that I selected "Existing Maven project" and after that some few hiccups and all errors were removed. In this process I got to learn so many things in Maven which are important for a new comer in Maven project.

Answer 2

Right click project name in Eclipse, -->Maven-->Select Maven Profiles... Then tick the maven profile you want to set. After click OK, Eclipse will automatically import the maven setting to your project. If you check your project's Property, you will find Maven Dependencies Library has been added.

Answer 3

if you're sure that your pom.xml is pretty good, then you have just to update the poject. right click on the project - Maven - update project. or simply alt+F5.

Answer 4

Had the same problem in Eclipse STS. Changing the scope in the pom from "provided" to "compile" fixed the problem and when I changed it back everything was still OK.

Answer 5

My direct solution for this issue : right click the project --> Maven ---> Add Dependency == then choose the name or parent name of missing dependency

Answer 6

The only solution worked for me is add maven-compiler-plugin to the pom.xml

<project ...>
    ...
    <build>
        ...
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.7</source>
                    <target>1.7</target>
                    <fork>true</fork>
                    <executable>C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_79\bin\javac</executable>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
    ...
</project>
