Path must include project and resource name / error

I have checked out a maven project in eclipse using the option:

Import > Maven > Check out Maven Projects from SCM

When I try to build the project using:

Project > Clean

I get the following errors:

Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.core.resources".

Stack trace:

Session Data:

eclipse.buildId=M20130204-1200
java.version=1.7.0_17
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86_64, WS=gtk, NL=en_US
Framework arguments:  -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
Command-line arguments:  -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product

I can't see any problems with the configuration. Other people have checked out this project without this error. I don't know what it is referring to when it says 'Path must include...' where can I configure this path?

This was caused by locally defined environment variable called $BROOT which was set in ~/.bashrc, and then picked up by the maven pom.xml. The environment variable put the output directory of the project outside the eclipse workspace, which is not how Eclipse likes to do things.

The solution was to unset the environment variable. This is the reason it works in Windows because Windows wouldn't know anything about ~/.bashrc.
