Build Identifier: M20110210-1200

Whenever I start up Eclipse with a specific Maven project in my workspace, I receive an error dialog.  This is a project that had been working with an earlier version of eclipse (3.5.2).  It appears that the NPE prevent the project from being fully loaded and I thus have 800 or more compile errors because I don't think the dependencies were resolved.  Also prevents me from running the maven package goal/phase.

Reproducible: Always

I can attach parent pom files as needed.

I wish to close this bug.  I can scale the pom file down to the bare minimum and it still throws a NPE.  I started up the 3.5.2 installation of Eclipse that I had on my workstation and the problem occurs too.  I believe this is something specific to my system and will not be able to be reproduced elsewhere.

Hi Anthony, did you try uninstalling and installing the maven Eclipse WTP plugin.. It worked for me.
