If you are fresh on Ubuntu 15.10 and fail to compile projects in Eclipse, verify that you can build with maven from command line, if not see my previous blog Cannot Run Maven On Ubuntu 15.10 .
Then in Eclipse: Right click the project->Maven->Update Project->Check checkbox "Force Update of Snapshots/Releases". Click OK.
Just installed Ubuntu 15.10, OpenJDK 8 and Maven 3.3.3 and run 'mvn clean install' on an existing project and receives
