Eclipse not recognizing imports in same project

Question

From time to time, Eclipse (Indigo) complains that certain classes in my projects cannot be resolved to a type. Even it shows the class in popup list, clicking import (see image) does not add the import statement! Even if I add it manually, it doesn't recognize it (and underlines the import package).

• This happens only in certain projects.
• Unresolved types are in the same project! (not in other dependencies)
• cleaning the project does resolve this, but only temporarily.
• My application consists of multi-module maven based projects.
• All projects are maven-based.
