Answer 1

That means simply that you are using an older Maven version. Based on the rule you have to use Maven 3.0.5+ that's the problem. The problem with Maven 3.0...3.0.3 had problems with informations from settings.xml to the release plugin which produces problems.

Answer 2

so after all that , you have to go to

window> preferences > maven > installations > and change the settings in there to the new install on your work station . that why eclipse is going to use the new maven 3.2.3

issue solved
