Hi!

These projects are not meant to be executed by the Eclipse directly.

Nevertheless, it should be working when:

1) you locate bot's main class (usually something like EmptyBot.java, HunterBot.java, etc.)
2) right-click the whole project in the Package explorer and click Run As -> Maven Package
3) wait till the project is built (and review whether it BUILD SUCCESS (!)
4) right-click the bot's main class in Package explorer and Run As -> Java Application

Best,
Jakub
