[m2e-wtp-dev] Error while performing Maven > Update Project

[Jeffrey E Care <carej@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Eclipse 4.3.1
m2e 1.4.0
m2e-wtp 1.0.1

I'm getting a NPE in the Eclipse error
log when running Update Project on certain projects:

I also found an entry on stack overflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19779141/eclipse-throws-nullpointerexception-during-maven-update)
that seems somewhat related (at least the top of the stack is the same).
