I have been using my installation of Spring Tool Suite (Version: 3.5.0.RELEASE Build Id: 201404011851) for quite a while now and have many different work spaces in it. I do not when or which update or something caused the problem, but i discovered it when i tried to import a new maven project into a new work space i created recently. I was trying to import another copy of the same project which is working fine in my previous work spaces. All the previous work spaces works just fine with this STS installations, only that i am unable to create any new work space. Here are the errors that occur when i try to import.
An internal error occurred during:"Importing maven project"
An internal error occurred during: "Importing Maven projects".
loader constraint violation: loader (instance of org/eclipse/osgi/internal/baseadaptor/DefaultClassLoader) previously initiated loading for a different type with name "org/apache/maven/project/MavenProject"
This obviously cause any attempt to update or build the project to fail.
The version for Maven compiler plugin is 2.3.2. When i try to update all the plugins, it shows a conflict between plugins with the following details.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

I am totally stuck because of these conflicts. Since there are a lot of configurations i have done in this installation, i would like to resolve the conflicts in this one itself rather than switching to a fresh installation.
