M2E quick fix – not up-to-date pom.xml

Recently, I have started using Apache Maven within Eclipse with m2e plugin. It helps me a lot as I can make many things within eclipse. This plugin  stills needs development (as has many open bugs), but since now I have not face something that I cannot overcome it.

An annoying problem that sometimes this plugin cause is that marks a project with error icon. If you see Markers View you will see an error of type “Maven Configuration Problem” saying:

Project configuration is not up-to-date with pom.xml. Run project configuration update

A quick workaround is this:

  1. Open Marker View
  2. Right-click on the Error message
  3. Select Quick Fix
  4. Click Finish
