I have cloned the git repository from https://github.com/viatra/org.eclipse.viatra.examples
and imported the project incquery-demo-generic (located in /query/headless-maven) as a Maven Project in Eclipse. Unfortunately I get the following error when I open the project's pom.xml:
Furthermore everytime when I click on "Run As" -> "Maven install" or "Maven build..." I get the following error message in the console:
Failed to execute goal on project incquery-demo-generic: Could not resolve dependencies for project hu.bme.mit.incquery:incquery-demo-generic:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at org.eclipse.incquery:runtime:jar:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.eclipse.incquery:runtime:jar:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find org.eclipse.incquery:org.eclipse.incquery.parent:pom:0.8.0-SNAPSHOT in https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/emf-incquery-snapshots/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of incquery-snapshot has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

In the Maven Dependencies Folder I can find some, but not all necessary jar files.
I have tried "Project clean", "Maven update", "Maven build... (Goal: clean package)" and to delete the .m2 repository and to re-build the maven project, but nothing helps.
I also tried to download some dependencies as .jar files and add them to the build-path, but they contain nothing but pom.xml and properties-files themself, thus I keep getting "cannot be resolved to a type" errors in relevant parts of the Java src-code.
Can somebody successfully run this project in her/his eclipse?
I am not an expert on Maven Projects so please tell me what to do in "layman words".
Thanks & kind regards,

The projects in the VIATRA examples repository (I notice it as one of the committers of the VIATRA project) are somewhat unusual: they are Eclipse plug-in projects that have Maven build informations added via Maven Tycho.
One more thing here: the 0.8.0 version of EMF-IncQuery bundles was released in 2014, thus it makes sense that the corresponding snapshot versions are removed. This means to me that this example was not updated for a long time. This is somewhat by design - some examples are not updated for each released version, but they are not are still available for references. If you are explicitly interested in this example, please contact us on VIATRA project forums or Bugzilla and we will provide example-specific support there.
Inside Eclipse we usually not rely on Maven (and our experience is that Tycho-based projects often does not work with M2E correctly). You could try to update Maven dependencies for the org.eclipse.incquery projects to 0.8.0, but I am still unsure whether it will work or not.
On the other hand, I'd rather suggest to install the old EMF-IncQuery version into your Eclipse instance and then simply rely on the Java Development Tools and the Plugin Development Environment to compile the project, and simply ignore any errors in the Maven descriptors for now.
I have a Maven error like the following in Eclipse for a Maven project.:
Project 'project1' is missing required library: '.../.m2/repository/.../project2/0.37.0-SNAPSHOT/project2-0.37.0-SNAPSHOT.jar'
The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved
The error is wrong, because in the parent pom.xml version 0.38.0-SNAPSHOT is defined, which also lies in the .m2 repository as project2-0.38.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
I tried: "Right click" -> "Maven" -> "Update Project...", but it does now solve the problem.
Then I tried: mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse, which solved the problem. But, then the problem is, that it converts the Eclipse Maven project to an Eclipse project. So I have to manually convert it back to an Eclipse Maven project. I also wonder because Apache Maven Eclipse Plugin is RETIRED.
Is there another solution to the above Problem?
Your error messages sais something about 0.37.0-SNAPSHOT but in your text you refere to 0.38.0-SNAPSHOT. Is it a mistake or maybe the version in your dependency is wrong?
First your are right not to mix mvn eclipse:eclipse and eclipse-m2e plug-in. Second the Maven->Update Project should fix any misconfiguration.
I would suggest to call mvn clean install in your console to verify that there are no real dependency problems. Eclipse sometimes does not update its index correctly.
Second if the error still appears try to restart your eclipse. I often saw that eclipse-m2e does cache some stra
I was working with a Java project in the IntelliJ platform and started over after reinstalling the Mac OS again. The project structure looks slightly weird now with BitCoinWalletApp[1] and BitCoinWalletApp[2],
When I run with the Tomcat 8, I get the following error,
Error:Cannot build artifact 'BitcoinWalletApp (2):war exploded' because it is included into a circular dependency (artifact 'BitcoinWalletApp (2):war exploded', artifact 'BitcoinWalletApp (1):war exploded')
Whats the issue here and how to solve it?
turns out this happened because the project has more than one pom.xml file which intelliJ detected as another source of valid pom.xml, in this case its pom.xml.back, to fix it, delete the backup version of your pom.xml
In eclipse when I build I get the following warnings:
2/18/14, 4:30:35 PM MST: [INFO] Using org.maven.ide.eclipse.wtp.WarLifecycleMapping lifecycle mapping for MavenProject: com.foo:bar:14.4.19-SNAPSHOT # C:\dev\code\apps\iv\pom.xml.

2/18/14, 4:30:35 PM MST: [WARN] The POM for com.foo.libraries:email:jar:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available
...
And so on. The build does not complete and I am unable to get anything more in my target directory than the m2e-wtp/web-resources folder.
When I build from the command line, there are no issues, these artifacts are found just fine. They certainly are in my local repository, why does this happen?
Some further details from experiments:
Deleting my local repository and rebuilding in eclipse downloaded some of the artifacts, but resulted in more artifacts to not be found (originally I had 5 missing artifacts, now I have 7). Those that were not found were not downloaded from Nexus.
After having deleted the repository in the experiment above, I then built from the command line and those artifacts that had been listed as missing were downloaded and the build was successful. However, going back to eclipse results in the same errors (despite now having them in my local repository).
Inside eclipse when I "Run As" > "Maven Install" The missing artifacts are downloaded and are found. If I do an eclipse "Build Project" after this I still get the same issue.
Other projects within eclipse are experiencing the same issues on the same artifacts.
Something similar happened to me once. I've checkout com.foo:bar as well as com.foo.libraries:s2j, but I haven't configure the library as maven project in eclipse. So the maven install worked just fine (only the pom file was used), but the eclipse build failed.
So check that all the projects are configured as maven ones and try Maven > Update project and check Force update of snapshots and Clean projects.
I found the solution.
Apparently when I did a mass close of workspace resolved projects some of them were left in a bad state. It looks like eclipse was trying to find the jar as a workspace resolved project, but the projects were closed and caused the result that they didn't exists (instead of looking at my local repository).
Once I opened (and then closed) the respective project for each of the missing dependencies they were then found in my local repository.
When I open a POM file and click on the "Dependency Hierarchy" tab at the bottom, it gives me the error, "Project read error". It works with other projects in the same workspace, just not with this one. Any ideas?
EDIT
In response to #Yhn's answer.
Running the compile and package phases outside of Eclipse from the command-line work as expected. It compiles the application and builds the final WAR file.
Eclipse is indeed pointing to the default location of the Maven settings.xml file, so it should be aware of the custom repositories that are defined in it (my company has its own Maven repository).
I can open and edit the POM file from Eclipse, so it must have read/write permissions to the file.
The project is not configured in Eclipse as a Maven project, so I cannot run the package phase from Eclipse (I can only run it from the command-line).
I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I was having trouble building the project with Maven 3 because apparently some of the transitive dependencies are configured for Maven 1, which Maven 3 does not support (this is my theory anyway, based on some of the error messages). I can build the project with Maven 2, but I still get messages such as the following:
Downloading: http://dist.codehaus.org/mule/dependencies/maven2/org/codehaus/xfie/bcprov-jdk14/133/bcprov-jdk14-133.pom
[INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.codehaus.xfire:bcprov-jdk14:pom:133' in repsitory mule (http://dist.codehaus.org/mule/dependencies/maven2)
It must be able to find these dependences however, because it downloaded the JARs just fine and can build the application. It seems like the problem is that the dependencies don't have POM files associated with them, which is maybe why they cannot be used with Maven 3. This might also be why I cannot view the Dependency Hierarchy in Eclipse.
EDIT 2
I converted the project to a Maven project by going to "Configure > Convert to Maven Project". When I open the POM file, I see the error:
ArtifactDescriptorException: Failed to read artifact descriptor for woodstox:wst (Click for 140 more)
(woodstox:wst is another transitive dependency of the project). An error appears in the "Markers" view for seemingly every depedency and transitive dependency in my project. However, I can successfully build the project by doing a "Run As > Maven build". (Edit: This might be because this project has no Java source code, but the JARs of the dependencies correctly appear in the final WAR.) The Dependency Hierarchy still gives the same error--"Project read error".
About the "Unable to find resource" messages--but this only appears for a handful of transitive dependencies. The project has many more transitive dependencies, but these messages do not appear for them. It seems like, because the dependencies do not have POM files, that Maven tries to search for them every time the project is built. Is this normal not to have POMs??
How might I go about getting a repo manager? Is this something that would have to be installed on the company's Maven repository or can you install it on your own workstation?
I had this problem with some non-maven jars that I needed to include in my maven project. I put the jars in my local repository using this maven command:
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=/test/gov.nist.xccdf-1.2.jar -DgroupId=gov.nist -DartifactId=xccdf -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.2
Then I referred to them as dependencies in my pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>gov.nist</groupId>
<artifactId>xccdf</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
This worked fine for a while, but I must have upgraded something in eclipse, and I started getting the error you describe.
The fix is to take them out of the local repository, and redo the install-file asking maven to generate a pom for you:
mvn -DgeneratePom=true install:install-file -Dfile=/test/gov.nist.xccdf-1.2.jar -DgroupId=gov.nist -DartifactId=xccdf -Dpackaging=jar -Dversion=1.2
The command will cause a pom to be generated in the same directory (within your local repo) where the jar is placed.
In recent versions of eclipse maven support, the maven build is still done with maven 2 (if you right-click your pom.xml, choose run as mvn package for example). The dependency analysis is now done with an embedded maven 3 plugin, which doesn't like a dependency that has no pom.xml.
I had the same problem. If you made your project a maven project, you should run:
Right Mouse Click on project | Maven | Update Dependencies or
Right Mouse Click on project | Maven | Update Project Configuration
That worked for me.
Given the information through the comments:
mvn compile/mvn package work through console (I'm assuming outside of eclipse). Based on that, the POM file should be correct and dependencies can be resolved.
However; it could be that eclipse's settings aren't correct. For example, if eclipse has some own maven properties (instead of the default ~/.m2/settings.xml file); I can imagine it to fail resolving dependencies configured in the settings.xml used by maven itself. The settings for this should be in the Eclipse Preferences # Maven > User Settings.
Also make sure that Eclipse can actually read the file (not locked, correct rights, etc).
Should this seem to be correct; can you try to run the mvn goal compile from eclipse? You can do this by right-clicking the project and selecting run as > maven package. That way it should run maven with the same settings as eclipse is using, and might show any additional errors in it's configuration.

In response to additional information:
Basically it tells you - when using Maven 2 - that it can't find a dependency resource (in this case bcprov-jdk14) in the given repository (codehaus/mule). When I search that maven module (bcprov-jdk14) I find it in the Maven central repo (through our local nexus) # repo1.maven.org/maven2. Maybe that causes the error you're getting with Maven2?
And as the Maven 3 doc says; for Maven 1.x repo's; you should proxy them through a repo manager that can serve it to you as a maven 2 repository (I believe we do that here too for some repo's through Sonatype Nexus OSS)
ps.: Enabling maven dependency management in eclipse should be enough to be able to use maven run targets; if you would want to test it.

Sound like it can be multiple problems... given that the normal maven build works fine, one would think that maven can at least get the artifacts it depends upon and their dependencies... Yet, eclipse doesn't seem to be able to.
Double check if your Eclipse internet connection settings are correct? Since you were talking about a company repo, I'm assuming there will probably also be a proxy (I had to set up my Eclipse to use that one too; though for plugins (see next point)).
Another possibility, from experience, can be a rule-based proxy block on *.pom url requests (our proxy here blocks that to force usage of the local repo manager, how evil and annoying that is :(). You might want to try and open the .pom file it tries to download manually in your browser to see if this is the case (I can't, for example...).
To get the repo set up, you would probably have to ask the one responsible for the repository to add it as a maven2 proxy.
At the very least, it seems Eclipse is having issues getting the dependency poms (which are needed to build the dependency tree) from the internet. You could always try to ask some ICT crew (if they are capable enough...) about it at your company, maybe they have some useful hints.
right click on the project, Maven->Update Project->Tick "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases"
I had the same problem when I added a new dependency to pom.xml without network connection. After this, I had so many problems such as "Missing artifacts", "Missing Descriptor", or "Project Read error". I solved this
delete the bad dependency just added from local repository.
rebuild local index.
re-add the dependency
<properties>
<!-- ********************** -->
<!-- Plugin's properties -->
<project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
<java.version>1.7</java.version>
</properties>
this pom setting worked for me
Usually this happens if there is a typo in the pom that Maven cannot understand and then it throws Project read error. Like in my case I copied a maven dependency snippet and I by passed the version. Instead of typing the actual version # it was getting it dynamically ${asciidoctorj.version} and my pom didn't have this in the properties section. So I got this error. Once I removed that and put a version number it started working.
I had this after copying a local repository folder from another machine. The fix was to go into the repository folder I copied and delete
_remote.repositories along with the 'LastUpdated' files then refresh the Maven dependencies in Eclipse (Alt+F5)
I faced same situation today. In my case it's caused by dependency name in wrong case. E.g.
Project A -> Project B -> Project C
In project B's pm file, I mistakenly specified the dependency artifacts name with "c" in stead of "C".
As in mac os, the files system is case insensitive. so I can build it in command line without detecting this mistake.
In Eclipse it breaks, but it provides very bad error message. In the error list, it says "dependency problem", but the name of dependency is empty. It also can't identify which line in the POM causes the problem.
When try to open "Effective POM" in POM viewer, it will show project read error. In the pop up error dialog box, it will show:
Could not read maven project
java.nio.channels.OverlappingFileLockException
All the messages are useless and misleading.
I finally detected this problem by submit to Jenkins CI after wasted hours of time.
I did maven clean install and the errors were gone
I faced the same issue of "Project read error" while clicking on "Dependency Hierarchy" tab. In my project I had a parent pom and child pom.
Parent pom had a property <appVersion>4.5<appVersion> that was being used in child pom
<version>${appVersion}<version>.
I selected the main project, right click and choose run as maven clean. The console display showed warning that version is using expression but should be a constant. Replacing ${appVersion} with constant value of 4.5 fixed the issue.
