Some things to check:

  1. Have you got the Maven Tycho Configurator installed? (Window->Preferences->Maven->Discovery->Open Catalog)

  2. Have you overridden the default maven source folders in your pom file to match the Eclipse folder structure?

    <build>
  <sourceDirectory>src</sourceDirectory>
  <testSourceDirectory>test</testSourceDirectory>

Below is a link to an example pom file for a working maven build of Eclipse plugins. (Disclaimer: this is one of the projects I work on)

Example parent pom file.
