Fresh STS-installation and Maven-Exception

[EmG]

Hello Spring-folks,

I am completely new to Spring and wanted to check it out. To have some fun with Spring I'd like to check out the Batch Samples.

While doing so, I get a lot of error markers.
I assume that these come from an incomplete build. To solve this issue, I do a right-click on the project, go to "run as" and choose "Maven test".
When I do this, I get the following exception:

There are others as well (when using the standard template for a Batch-project, but that's secondary, as long as this does not work).

Has someone an idea of what went wrong?

Thank you very much!

see the readme from the github spring batch repo

Use Maven 2.2.* (might work with 3.0, but we don't test it), then on the command line:
$ mvn install
or, the first time (to download the stuff that isn't in the Maven Central repository):
$ mvn install -P bootstrap

it does work(*) with maven 2.2


(*)right now there seem to be test failures
