Answer 1

You could also try to skip tests by using this command in console:

mvn install -Dmaven.test.skip=true

In Eclipse you can do it by adding a new maven build configuration, you could check this link How to skip maven unit test in Eclipse if you don't know how to do it

Answer 2

You can follow below steps:

1. Go to Preferences->Maven-Installation->  Click the "Add " button to add external maven you had downloaded ,Then click the "Ok" or "Apply' button to save. 
2. For you current maven project, you need to right click the project or pom.xml file ,choose "Run As"->"Run Configurations", find current maven run setting, at the bottom there's a "maven Runtime" setting , for the dropdown list to select the previous added maven ,Then click the "Apply" button to make it affect .

Answer 3

This seems related with a known Eclipse issue.

As a workaround you can use an external mvn instead of the embedded one which Eclipse uses by default.

Workaround steps:

1. Unzip a maven distribution on your machine.
2. In Eclipse navigate to Window -> preference -> Maven -> Installations, and add the Maven installation you just unzipped.
3. A new launch configuration will use the new one. If you try an existing launch configuration you need to update the "Maven Runtime" used at the bottom of the main tab of Launch Configuration dialog.
