Reason: Error getting POM for 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin' from the repository: Failed to resolve artifact, possibly due to a repository list that is not appropriately equipped for this artifact's metadata. org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-eclipse-plugin:pom:2.9-SNAPSHOT
As it happens with other maven dependencies their pom.xml file gets somehow modified and the plugin does not work as expected anymore.
The solution here is to navigate to your local repository, delete the dependency and try to download it again. If it still fails (clearly a pom.xml that has not been corrected) then you need to edit the metadata file. In my case:
/Users/nestor/.m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/maven-metadata-central.xml
You will notice the "latest node", for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <metadata> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId> <versioning> <latest>2.9-SNAPSHOT</latest> <release>2.8</release> <versions> <version>2.0-beta-1</version> <version>2.0-beta-2</version> <version>2.0</version> <version>2.1</version> <version>2.2</version> <version>2.3</version> <version>2.4</version> <version>2.5</version> <version>2.5.1</version> <version>2.5.2-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>2.6-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>2.6</version> <version>2.6.1-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>2.7-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>2.7</version> <version>2.8-SNAPSHOT</version> <version>2.8</version> <version>2.9-SNAPSHOT</version> </versions> <lastUpdated>20101028062425</lastUpdated> </versioning> </metadata>
Just remove the "latest" node or edit it to reflect the version you want to use (probably a previous stable version) and problem solved

Thanks. Now it is working.
You could also try mvn parameter -U

mvn -U eclipse:eclipse
