It's possible that some of jar files in your local maven repository, which are used by your project, was not downloaded correctly or it's corrupted. You can:

1. try to clean your local maven repo by Maven > Update project > Check "Clean projects" and the project for which you apply clean action
2. disable it (if you don't need CDI Tools support) in Window > Preferences > JBoss Tools > Maven Intagration > Uncheck "CDI Facet" and then disable in Project Properties > CDI Settings > Uncheck "CDI Support" for your project as well
