I have one java web project in eclipse EE and it has error label hint, but I check the project build path and all folders in projects.There is no any issues.
What's more, I tried : clean the project and build again, but it still hint error label.
So how to found the root cause and solve the question?
Eclipse does this sometimes, I don't know why. First, check if there's an error being reported; perhaps you missed it. Check in the Problems tab (Window -> Show View -> Problems if it's not visible).
If you truly have no issues left, try refreshing (right-click on project -> Refresh) then cleaning the project (Project -> Clean...).
If that doesn't work, close all editor windows, then close and reopen the project (right-click on project -> Close Project). You might have to restart Eclipse.
Press CTRL+3 then type markers, find the problem in the markers list and see if there is a Quick Fix.
I just deleted the class R in my Android-Project, how can I get it back. I tried to clean the Project Setup, I created new Files which reference R. But nothing works.
Please help me what can I do?
Best Regards

You can right click on the project -> Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties. That should cause the R.java class to be re-generated.
If you are using eclipse then follow below steps
Goto Project Menu and then clean
Select "Clean projects selected below"
Select your project
select "start a buid immediatly"
Select "build only selected project" and
click ok to clean your workspace and build from scratch.
If this will not work then edit any of your java file or try to change Android library file,
you need to anyhow build that will generate R.java
I have had this problem and other similar problems related to the build in the past.
The steps to follow are:
Clean the project.
If this does not solve the problem, clean the project and then restart eclipse. This always resolves the problem for me.
I have just got a new computer and installed Eclipse Indigo and all of the plugins that I use. But when I open my workspace from my old computer some projects have an exclamation mark.
What does a red exclamation mark mean on a project folder?
The red exclamation mark usually means there is a problem with the Build Path.
Do you see any alerts in the "Problem" View?
It means that there is an error on that project..
You can look at all the errors in the Problems tab. press ALT SHIFT Q followed by X to
show this tab.
It means that there are two things happened.........
What ever jar file or project setup jar file for your application
are not located at that point where it was earlier in your computer.
So that First you have to setup your project with all the jar files
and refresh it.
Check syntax in your project might be some mistake in that.
The red exclamation mark in eclipse is because of the problem/issue with the build path.
To find the specific issue look at the problems tab of the eclipse.
Window -> Show View -> Problems (or) Alt+Shift+Q,X
If you didn't find any error on the project files, usually it means your build path has some issue. First Check your jar file and jar file locations.
On eclispe, right click on your project, Go to build path and go to Configure build path. Check any errors under libraries. Configure it correctly and refresh the project.
It appears mostly because of "build path" only. But just in case you are working on a MAVEN project, here is the solution.
Solution
Step 1. Expand your project in Eclipse > Right click on "JRE System Library" > "Build Path" > "Remove From Build path"
Step 2. Expand your project in Eclipse > Right click on "Maven Dependencies" > "Build Path" > "Remove From Build path"
Step 3. Reach out to your local repository and follow below path "C:\Users\userName\.m2\repository" and delete everything inside repository folder
Step 4. Refresh your project in Eclipse
Step 5. Right Click on your project > "Maven" > "Update Project"
Step 6. Just refresh your project and now we are Ready to GO..
In my case show hidden files was enabled and i had added hidden jar file extensions along with the original jars. Adding only the jar files except the hidden files solved the problem
It can appear when any other file other than .jar is added in the jar library. To fix this, remove the file and clean the project.
If it is maven project and your project view having no error. Then try the following steps
Right click the project ---> maven --> update maven
It works for me.
What the error means is that the Java (JDK) version installed needs an update, as the older version could not be read. To rectify the issue, uninstall your Java (JDK) and install the latest version. Restart eclipse and the would be seen resolved.
This may help in case your build path is correct and you have put the right signature and access specifier for main, so maybe used as a hook to try before you make any modifications to your build path.
Just go to your problems bar and delete the problem given for the project, clean the project and build it. It should solve the problem, if these steps cause the red exclamation to go away.
I have create multi-module maven project in Eclipse IDE (already installed M2Eclipse plugin). There I can build my project successfully. But after build also it shows errors icon in my every module project. What kind of issue it can be?
Thank You.
Without knowing what errors you are seeing I am going to assume that your issue is with eclipse project properties (build path, src directory specification, output classes directory, etc).
You tagged m2eclipse plugin, so you should be able to right click on your project in eclipse select maven->update project configuration. If you do not see that option under maven then you should first see an option called maven->enable dependency management. Click that first and then you should be able to see update project configuration option.
If this does not fix it, then open your project directory containing the pom.xml file in command prompt and run mvn eclipse:eclipse.
One of the above should resolve those pesky error messages provided that your maven build itself is successful.
In eclipse open the Markers Tab (You can open it from Window -> Show View -> searching Markers)
It will show all the related errors with your project. You can identify your problems related to your problem, and solve accordingly. Sometimes it shows Quick Fix option, which is helpful.
For me, the above solution listed out by #CoolBeans was not working out, so i searched further and found out the following:
Go to Problems windows(present besides of Console window). If it is not there then click on Window-> Show View -> Problems
Inside Problems you will be able to see the Errors Description related to your project. In my case it was "java compiler level does not match the version of the installed java project facet". If that is the case for you as well, just follow below steps:
Right Click Project -> Properties
Click Project Facets(present in the left hand side list)
Choose the correct java version in Java Project Facet
Click Apply
That's it!
For some reason Eclipse is no longer showing me Java compilation Errors in the Problems View.
It is still showing Warnings.
This has suddenly happened and I cannot think of anything that I have changed which would affect this.
I am using the "Maven Integration for Eclipse" plugin but I have been for some time - not sure if this could have affected it or not.
Any ideas?
I had same problem and randomly did such things as (several times):
1) Project->Clean...,
2) close and open Eclipse again,
3) Run As...
And it started to work again, without changing configuration.
Right-click your project and go to Properties > Java Build Path > Source.
Make sure your source directory (for example MyProject/src) is listed as a Source folder. Otherwise you won't get any red markers.
I want to post my story here if Google brings you to this question.
Somehow, "Project->Build Automatically" got turned off.
Turning it back on produces correct errors list.
In my case it has nothing to do with m2e 1.0. This is default behavior for any Java project and goes back as far as Ganymede ( at the point of writing this post I am running Indigo )
This is not totally an answer to your question, but is related. I thought eclipse stopped showing red/yellow flags next to files in my project. The solution was very simple - I was looking at the Navigator tab (which doesn't show error/warning flags) instead of the Package Explorer tab.
I installed and deinstalled ajdt-plugin and got the same problem.
Check <Project><Properties><Builders>.
It should have a 'Java Builder'.
This code should be in the .project file (file is in the root of your project):
<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
</natures>
Check your source directory is listed in source folder of project
Right-click your project > Build Path > Configure Build Path > Source.
If you are using multiple projects (as dependencies)
Project->Clean...,
Check "Build Automatically" is enabled or not.
project > Build Automatically
What worked for me is creating a New Problems View (this option is accessible from the three-dots View options):
The new View does show all the warnings and errors that were detected:
I was experiencing this problem as well today. The other solutions presented here (such as cleaning the project and restarting Eclipse) did not work or were not applicable to my setup. What did work for me was right-clicking on the project in the Package Explorer and selecting Maven->Update Project Configuration. Evidently some source folder restructuring I had done the previous day had caused Maven to lose track of things, and issuing this command fixed everything.
At the top right corner of the problems window (next to minimize) there is a small arrow-icon. Click it and select "Configure filters". There is a severity filter that might have been activated.
I have the same problem in slight different situation. I have a parent POM and multiple modules under it. Project was existing and I imported it into eclipse. I can change the "Dependency management" only to parent project but not projects under it. They are not showing any compilation warnings.
Next I'm going to try to change them all into individual projects... that's not what I wanted, but I haven't been able to solve this otherwise...
I have also faced the same problem.
After installing m2eclipse plugin, i was not getting any Java compilation errors.
My solution was to enable dependency management by Select Project -> Right Click (to get context menu) -> m2 Maven -> Enable dependency management.
Now i am able to view Java Compilation Errors.
This is normal problem. In wich order and export function sometimes get turned off.
right click on project<properties< there u hav option
build path < and there ORDER AND EXPORT< click right all the options....all the things are right back.
On Ganymede, check the configuration of the Problem view:
('Configure content') It can be set on 'any element in the same project' and you might currently select an element from the project.
Or it might be set on a working set, and this working set has been modified
Make sure that 'Match any configuration' is selected.
In my case Eclipse wasn't properly picking up a Java project that a current project was dependent on.
You can go to Project > BuildPath > Configure BuildPath and then delete and re-add the project.
There are obviously several reasons why this might occur, and I thought I'd add the solution to my issue. (I have a java project into which I have imported files with virtual links)
If you have a situation like mine, you will have another folder on the same level as your 'src' folder. If you do, right-click on that other folder, then select 'Build Path' > 'Add to Build Path' (if you see 'Build Path' > 'Remove from Build Path', then it had already been added.)
To further configure the Build Path, right click on your top level project dir, and select 'Build Path' > 'Configure Build Path'. Your folders should show up in the 'Source' tab.
To configure what errors you see, Click on Java Compiler > Errors/Warnings and then click 'Configure Workspace Settings'. That is the same as going to Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler > Errors/Warnings. If you don't want Eclipse to ignore something, then just change it to Warning.
Try following:
Open Problems window (Windows -> Show View -> Problems)
Right click on the error and then Quick Fix
This procedure helped me solve the same problem.
If you have reached here that means all the other solutions did not work for you.
One reason could be your source folder is not a java project.
Solution would be to run below command on the source folder
mvn eclipse:eclipse
This worked for me.
If this also doesn't work then try removing .classpath and .project file and run the above command again
I could reproduce this issue by creating an enumeration with a non-static member class and a static block enumerating its values:
public enum Foo {
Dummy(new Bar [] {new Bar()});
static {
for (Foo foo: Foo.values());
}
private Foo(Bar [] params) {}
public class Bar {}
}
This class breaks the Ganymede compiler. If you delete the line in the static initializer block, the code compiles correctly again, and you get the error that there is no enclosing instance for the new Bar() call, as expected.
-- correction: The above holds only if the project has gaeNature from Google Appengine. However, if you get an error similar as mentioned in the original question, you might be encountering another java compiler bug ...
I have the same issue with Eclipse Helios and the m2eclipse plugin. They just can't seem to get this thing to work with WTP or WPT or whatever the blasted acronym is.
If I do a clean on the project and watch the Maven console then I can see the compilation issues in the console but eclipse won't touch it. It seems eclipse or WTP/WPT and m2eclipse are busy playing slap hands.
I experienced that problem with a MapReduce project. I closed the error window and never came back after doing what the other answers suggested.
Click on the bottom left -> Other -> Problems
Kepler SP2, Java Project (Web Driver), and we use Gradle instead of Maven
None of the above helped, what did fix the problem for me was to select my projects (r-Click) > Gradle > Refresh All
Pointing the source(src) folder to the build path will solve this easily
to do so
right click on the project > build path > configure build path > java build path > source > add folder and click Apply
My mistake was that I was creating classes in resource package...
Creating classes in src/main/java solved the issue.
Check your filters, sometimes problem view could be scoped to a working set that you are not currently working in. Also, you can check other configurations for the problem view.
Problem in .classpath
I did "Replace with HEAD revision" to get back the version that I had in the repository Git and the errors appear again.
Duplicates in build path
In my case, errors were not showing up in the Problems View or Package Explorer views because my build path had duplicate entries for src and test directories:
Removing these from Project -> Properties -> Build Path (and just leaving one each) did the trick.
In my case I setted a old workspace and it was the problem.
Try to set a new folder for workspace
If "Debug" has been recently activated then check the top right of the program (under the Minimise button) and click back onto Java.
