Maven – Suppress Overriding managed version warning in Eclipse

When that warning shows up, you can open the Quick-Fix menu on the warning (Ctrl+1) and select

Ignore this warning

This will add the comment on the version line, like :

<dependency>
   <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
   <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
   <version>1.1.0.Final</version><!--$NO-MVN-MAN-VER$-->
</dependency>

Your problem is you manually added that comment on the wrong line.
