I would suggest to create maven project from command line and then import it in eclipse.
I assume that you already have maven installed. Execute following from command line -
mvn -B archetype:generate \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
-DgroupId=com.mycompany.app \
-DartifactId=my-app
This would generate maven project named -> my-app and you can import it in eclipse
Hope this helps
