Answer 1

I had the same issue with a project of my own - it seems to be an m2eclipse-issue, as it goes away when I use an external maven instead of the embedded one m2eclipse uses by default.

Answer 2

its m2e-embedded mvn setting a bogus maven.home-dir

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=341120

only known workaround (as mentioned above) is to use an external mvn
