[m2e-users] m2e error in eclipse - build fails due to Failed to interpol

[Brock Mills <brockwmills@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi 

I have a maven project that is getting the following error when I try to build it from within eclipse

Note - the project builds correctly from the command line using maven and the child modules all build ok from within eclipse, so I'm guessing its some stale metadata somewhere but I can't work it out. I also created a brand new workspace and deleted the .settings and .project files in the app directories. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Brock

If I turn on the debugging it's an error trying to interpret the last build time:
