In fact you don't need to do something about them, usually they're not an issue.

Then in your Eclipse workspace configure your maven installation in prefs instead of the embedded one (so with proper settings / repositories). Check your http proxy settings, if needed. Then only, import your project. Then let it some time (seconds, minutes, hours...) to complete. Then restart Eclipse (because if you don't it takes ages for Eclipse to realize he can remove all those red crosses). If you do that //usually// it's almost painless.
