Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again

If it helps or makes any difference this line in my pom.xml shows a error 

    <mainClass>${storm.topology}</mainClass>

more precisely the `storm.topology` shows red with an error of `cannot resolve symbol`.
However the project still packages correctly and builds into a jar

I used the basic pom.xml from the storm-starter, however i had to add a few version tags for some of the dependencies to remove some errors.

Thanks for the help
