I am developing a web application with Eclipse and I generate the project with a maven archetype.

When I enable maven dependency management, Eclipse mark some errors in the pom file, this error is:

 Multiple annotations found at this line:

I had same problem with Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo) and maven 3.0.4.

In my case, the problem was caused by missing maven-resources-plugin-2.4.3.jar in {user.home}\.m2\repository\org\apache\maven\plugins\maven-resources-plugin\2.4.3 folder. (no idea why maven didn't update it)

Solution:

1.) add dependency to pom.xml

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4.3</version>
</dependency>

2.) run mvn install from Eclipse or from command line

3.) refresh the project in eclipse (F5)

4.) run Maven > Update Project Configuration... on project (right click)

JAR file is downloaded to local repository and there are no errors in WS.
