imported maven project does not appear as java pro

Question

I checked out the existing project source code from SVN to a folder in my system. Then I opened eclipse. Import Project-> Existing Maven Project.

It imported without issues. However, Project Explorer shows it as just folders instead of packages. (Like when we create a package and then add classes to it, it shows a different icon for package root). I opened Navigator and Package Explorer as well. But they are showing them as folders as well.

I tried:

mvn eclipse:clean
mvn eclipse:eclipse

on the root of the project. But it did not help.

Can anyone help on this one?

My folder structure:

ecs->
     ecs-ejb->
        src/java/main/com/xxx
        pom.xml
     ecs->ear->
        src/java/main/com/xxx
        pom.xml
     pom.xml

I also faced a similar issue. I resolved it by downloading the correct apache maven plugins in the maven repository org / apache/ Maven/ plugins. IN my case, everything was working fine earlier and I had deleted .m2 repository completely. After that I started getting these issues with same iDE and newer IDE versions as well. The pom.xml showed error related to lifecycle mappings. On downloading the correct plugin, the workspace worked fine.
