Did you setup any other plugins with MyEclipse ? Have you tried using the -clean command line argument to fix this issue? You should try it incase you haven't already tried it:-

Let me know if the problem persists.

Hi Nipun,
Tried the eclipse -clean option but still the problem persists. Havent installed any additional plugins. Do let me know if you need anymore info.
Thanks for the prompt reply ... appreciate!!!

thanks & regards,

Hi Nipun,
Can this issue be resolved ... If not then will have to make do with normal Java project option.


P.S. I had also sent you pm on the same
thanks & regards,

Siddhartha,
I'm sorry for the delay in replying to your post. I was trying to get my team to reproduce this issue at our end. There was a user who ran into a similar issue a while back and switching to a new workspace did the trick for him. You could try it as well. Go to File > Switch Workspace > Temp and after switching to a new workspace, try creating a new Maven Java Project. Does the issue persist?
