'Open Project' has encountered an error - java

The project description file (.project) for 'AutoClicker' is missing. This file contains important information about the project. The project will not function properly until this file is restored.
I had moved computers in class and moved all my projects on a 1TB hard drive over to the new computer and I had gotten all the projects to work, but one. I have no idea how to fix it, I feel like the path to the file is wrong, but I don't see anything wrong with it.
If anyone has any idea on how to fix this error, it would be greatly appreciated.

Delete your .project file in root project and in your subprojects, then right click on project folder -> delete (not deleting it from disk).
Reimport your project, then, be happy!

Most probably you have lost the .project file during the transaction process.
Not really an elegant solution, but what you could do is create a new project in Eclipse and copy the files from your storage to the newly created project (which would have the .project file).

1) The solution for me, is to delette projet from eclipse ( important no delette content from disk).
2) Import the project
It's OK form me
I hope help U

If the .project file is in the expected location, try checking the case. On case sensitive systems (not Windows) a difference in case between the project name and the folder name may be the cause.

If you are getting this error after stash your changes with checking include untracked files then you have to follow below steps to solve the issue.
Go to your project root folder.
run git stash list. You will see your stash changes with given name.
Now apply those stash changes by running git stash apply stash#{0} where stash#{0} is having your stash changes.
Now you will be able to open your project.
Thanks.

A thing that worked with me (having tortoise) was deleting the .project file then importing it again

The import cannot be resolved in JSP

Before posting this message I read tens of threads but with no success. I am trying to import a package into one of my JSP files and I keep getting the same error:
The import cannot be resolved.
I believe that something is not right with my project structure. I have tried everything, from cleanup, rebuild, even creating another project from scratch.
This is the structure of my project:
And these are the contents of my build path:
I would greatly appreciate any kind of help, this is a big blocker right now for me.
Yes, it's your project structure. Your source files are not actually under the src folder that would be listed on the Source tab of the Java Build Path property page you're showing (you can see how it's laid out that folder's contents to resemble package names). Either move the files to where they're expected or update the Source tab to point to where you're actually keeping them.
add the Java Resources/src folder to the build path or the library build path.
Thanks a lot for your answers, I have changed the project structure like in the image below and now it works:

How can I clean up my eclipse project after deleting a .java whose .class file still seems to be somewhere?

So, I deleted a couple of .java files from within eclipse because I didn't need them anymore. However for some reason another class still uses them and compiles without a problem. When I go to the declaration of the constructor of one of the deleted classes a .class file opens of that class even though I thought they got deleted by eclipse when I deleted their .java files.
I have tried to clean the project and I tried to find the .class file using the system file explorer in the folders that are listed in
project > properties > resource > linked resources. However I couldn't find them.
Now, since I deleted those files/classes there should be a compile time error wherever they are used but everything compiles without an error, even using the code that should've gotten deleted. A colleague that recently joined the project does receive compile time errors, since he doesn't have those class files. And I want to get them too, so I can fix the code where the classes were used. Of course he could show me the lines of code that are affected but if this happens again he would probably be affected as well as he would have the class files by then.
Try doing the following
Go to project > properties > Java Build path >Source
under that you can find Default Output Folder section, simply delete the classes folder under that location with in your project.
Try cleaning the project.
Or
Simply close the eclipse and reopen it again, sometime this would work for me.
Hope it resolves your problem
If you just deleted the sources, they binaries would still be there. So open the Navigator View and go to the project in question. Look for the bin directory and delete the appropriate class files. Otherwise, delete the project itself.
You should also ensure that no other programs depend on those class files.
I found the problem. Someone built a .jar file I didn't know of which contained a lot of old code.
I found it by right clicking the constructor and selecting
references>project

My projects are not appearing in eclipse

I face strange problem, Yesterday I was checking my projects and also I created a new project to the work-set.
Today when I opened eclipse and loaded my work-set I found that my projects are not loaded into eclipse. I checked the work-set folder I found that all my files exist in the work-set folder but those projects are not visible nor loaded into eclipse as if they are not exist.
I have also more than one workset,the one that does not appear in eclipse named workset00. workset00 folder exist one the hard drive but does not appear in eclipse. Unlike others worksets such as workset01 or workset02 they
I hope the I explained my problem clearly.thanks.
check out your workspace path is set properly to the workspace ur expecting to set or it different.. please check care fully directory by directory. if everything is proper still wont work, then do the following
copy all projects some other temporary folder and delete that directory.
create new workspace in eclpise.
just copy paste all ur project to the new workspace directory.
use import project from ecplise.
and your set
Try reimporting them or import them in a new workspace.

No Package Hierarchy Importing Project in Eclipse

I've been trying to import a project that works on a friend's computer, however no matter what I try, the package hierarchy is completely lost and the result is this
Has anyone seen this issue before? I've been struggling with it for a while. Occasionally creating a new project and copying in the src folder works, but I've been unsuccesfful in my recent attempts.
The presentation of packages is a user option. Click the little down-arrow at the top of the package panel, then select "Package Presentation" from flat to hierarchical.
Turns out we weren't including the .classpath file in the source control. Facepalm. Good answers, though.
It could also be that the folders are not listed in the project as Source Folders. Go to the project properties and check that the root folders (looks like "data" and "src" here) are listed as source folders in the Build Path.

Removing an unwanted directory folder from netbeans and fixing a "is already under version control"

I have two issues i would like to get fixed, yet in my attempt to fix the issues i have managed to descend down to an angry primate screaming and shouting at my pc.
Here are my issues (some of which cannot be solved by an online community),
Earlier today i thought it would be a great idea to create a folder called "res", res would be used to store images and wav files for a game i am making. Now, if the wav file i am testing is not inside this folder and the directory to the wav file is right it works fine, it looks like this ".getResource(fileName);". But when i do have the wav file in the "res" folder, i changed the directory to the following .getResource("res/"+fileName); i get the following
warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 1.6
1 warning
as well as a nullPointerException pointing to all the stuff relating to sound.
So after being incredibly frustrated, i removed "res" folder, then the project stopped compiling as it cannot find "res", so i recreated res folder, keeping the wav file out of it which worked just fine. I then felt happy about it and thought, ya i'm done for a while, lets commit this to SVN.
On attempt to commit my work i get a "is already under version control" error for the "res" folder
so to recap this
i created a folder called "res" in my project folder (via netbeans)
i put a wav file into "res" and found it threw errors
i removed the wav file from "res" and it worked just fine
i deleted res folder and project refused to compile without this very important folder
i recreated res folder and then tried to commit my work to SVN and SVN doesn't want my children anymore.
I am now left with children i cannot put somewhere safe and an unwanted ghost in my house (folder in my project folder that wont do anything)
assistance, as always is greatfully accepted and welcomed.
With respect to the SVN problem:
NB tends to add or delete directories on SVN automatically (but not commit) and it might be confused after the delete/recreation.
I'd suggest using a different tool (SVN command line or TortoiseSVN, for example) to verify which operations does SVN are pending and try reverting operations on the res directory. If SVN marks res as existing then you might try veryfing that the directory is not already on the repository.
Also you might remove the SVN cache from your Netbeans directory (previously called %HOME%\.netbeans\cache\svn and now (NB 7.2) changed to %HOME%\Netbeans\Cache\7.2\svncache.
An extreme solution would be to make a new checkout and copy your changes from the old working copy to the new one.
