UIMasterPasswordProvider used to be in credential-manager module and was moved to credential-manager-ui as it is essentially a UI component. Are you sure you are working with the latest versions of the modules, i.e. the ones that have been used in 2.1?
As far as I remember, we used to ask for master password at the time of initialising as we were copying the CaGrid CAs' and standard Java trustostore certificates to Credential Manager and we needed a password to access Cred. Manager. As this was annoying and users did not know why they need to enter password as this was happening in the background - we have fixed this so that users do not need to enter their passwords anymore. Now, essentially, Credential Manager has two keystores - one for users credentials (passwords and certificates) and the other for trusted certificates of CAs and services (i.e. the truststore). Both used to use the same, user-set, password. We have changed this so that only the first one uses user-set password and the second one (i.e. the truststore) is using randomly generated password that is saved inside Taverna code. This meant that we do not need to ask the user for the password now when starting up Taverna for the first time as copying of caGrid CAs' and Java's certificates only require access to Cred. Manager's truststore (for which we now know the password). Hope this makes sense? Make sure you are using the latest code as you are getting ClassNotFoundException.
