title: Maven Error While Processing POM: [FATAL] Non-parseable POM...PITarget with reserved xml name
body: <p>Anybody has any idea on why this error comes up right after importing a Spring Boot project in Springsource Tool Suite:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
  [FATAL] Non-parseable POM C:\Users\...\.m2\repository\com\fasterxml\oss-parent\33\oss-parent-33.pom: processing instruction can not have PITarget with reserved xml name (position: END_TAG seen ...&lt;/profiles&gt;\n\n&lt;/project&gt;\n&lt;?xml
  </code></pre>

  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15438422/maven-error-while-processing-pom-dependencies-must-match-start-tag-name-p">this</a>, however, the solution there was to create a new workspace to resolve it. It doesn't work for me.</li>
  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51538323/non-parseable-pom-spring-boot-maven-project">this</a> but this also doesn't work for me.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any help will greatly appreciated. </p>
