Answer 1

According to your command prompt error, you need to setup at least one goal in your pom.xml. For example

<goals>
    <goal>java</goal>
 </goals>

My suggestions are

1. No need to delete .m2 folder
2. Read maven life cycle here
3. If you doubt your project is wrong,then just delete your project from eclipse workspace and create new maven project again
4. Write pom.xml yourself,do not copy the other people pom.xml if you don't understand what they wrote in their pom.xml
