Unsupported IClasspathentry kind=4 error in Maven

While importing a Maven project into eclipse, you may sometimes get an error like "Unsupported IClasspathentry kind=4".

The best solution was found on this StackOverflow page. The 2nd solution provided by Sagar worked for me and fixed the issue.

Quick Fix : 

In Eclipse, Right click the project -> Maven -> Disable Maven Nature

Open Terminal, go to the project directory and type mvn eclipse:clean

Now, again right click the project in Eclipse -> Configure -> Convert to Maven Project

Note that when you type mvn eclipse:clean in terminal, it deletes the old .classpath, .project files

[INFO] Deleting file: .project
[INFO] Deleting file: .classpath
[INFO] Deleting file: .wtpmodules
