Error "Invalid thread access" during Maven import

When trying to import a maven project using Eclipse 7.1 I got the following error message:

An internal error occurred during: "Importing Maven projects". Invalid thread access.

Apparently m2eclipse importing of Maven projects is not supported in Eclipse 7.1. I uninstalled Eclipse 7.1 and installed Eclipse 7.0 to fix the problem.

Eclipse Error Message: Java compiler level does not match the version of the installed Java project facet

The java facet version needs to always match the java compiler compliance level. The best way to change java level is to use the Project Facets properties panel as that will update both places at the same time. The Project Facet can be changed via Project Properties -> Project Facets panel.
