Error in adding a library to a project in eclipse luna - java

I wanted to add EclipseLink library to my project. For that I went to eclipse marketplace and installed eclipse link 2.5 kepler. My Eclipse IDE is luna, which comes after kepler. So, the error is probably due to difference in versions. Is there a way to be sure that this is the real reason and nothing else ? Please see the screenshot below.
Edit: I just tried this - Click user libraries > expand eclipselink 2.5. It shows that libraries for eclipse link are missing (all red crosses). How can that be ? I installed eclipse link in eclipse and restarted it.
Edit: I noticed the path on each of the errors is pointing to the older location of my workspace (I copied it to another folder and deleted the old workspace. Some files in the workspace still remain). I wonder how I will fix this.

I wanted to add Eclipse link to my list of eclipse user libraries. Steps Eclipse > Window > Prefernces > search word = user libraries. I saw eclipse link in that list, but it had errors as shown below:
The jar names were followed by my old workspace path followed by the text : (missing).
The error was because eclipse was somehow trying to get the eclipse link libraries from the old workspace which I deleted after copying to a new folder. Some of this directory remained. This is probably because eclipse link installed in old workspace was set to be added as a system library, i.e to the boot class path and not as a user library. Not sure.
Anyway, this is how I fixed it: In the same old user libraries window remove the old, erroneous library. Then, > New > User Library Name = EclipseLink 2.5 > ok > Add external jars > go to folder where the eclipse link library is installed/downloaded. Select each of the jars in its lib or library folder, that is `EclipseLink 2.5.0 - Kepler\eclipselink\jlib'. You might not really need all the jars, but do it for peace of mind.
Note that sometimes the add external jars button will be disabled/grayed out. To enable it, select or highlight the library name you initially created, i.e EclipseLink 2.5.
Once done adding all those jars, click ok.
Then check the box below and finish.
Finally click ok.

The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved [duplicate]

While compiling an android project in eclipse 3.4.2, I am getting The project cannot be built until the build path errors are resolved.
I got a temporary solution from the blog http://www.scottdstrader.com/blog/ether_archives/000921.html
The resolution was to force a resave of the selected projects (and their .classpath files):
Open the project properties
Select Java Build Path > Libraries
Add a new, arbitrary library (to be deleted later) > OK
Wait for the workspace to refresh (or force a refresh of the project)
The error(s) will go away
Remove the dummy library
The only other references I could find were to make minor alterations of contents of the .classpath file.
Is there any permanent fix for this issue?
Have you tried using Project > Clean... from the menu? This will force a new build on the selected projects in Eclipse.
1-Right CLick on your project folder, Choose Build Path > Configure Build Path
2-Select Libraries Tab and delete any arbitrary library present there.
3-Click on Add Library option, Select JRE System Library and click Next.
4-Choose last Radiobutton option Workspace default JRE and click Finish.
5-press f5 for refresh.
6-run ur program .
This what fixed it for me...
I was having an issue with my spring-core.jar.
I deleted the entire release directory located here. (I'm on win 10).
C:\Users********.m2\repository\org\springframework\spring-core\4.3.1.RELEASE
I right clicked on the project > Maven > Update project and my exclamation mark disappeared. No problems any more.
Here is the source where I found the information:
http://crunchify.com/cannot-be-read-or-is-not-a-valid-zip-file-how-to-fix-maven-build-path-error-with-corrupted-jar-file/
This happens when libraries added to the project doesn't have the correct path.
Right click on your project (from package explorer)
Got build path -> configure build path
Select the libraries tab
Fix the path error (give the correct path) by editing jars or classes at fault
This works for me: close the project then re-open it, this will force eclipse to reload a fresh project and detects the correct build path.
None of the other answers worked for me. Even after fixing my build path issues, doing a refresh, clean, rebuild, and restart (of both eclipse and the computer), I was still getting the little red exclamation point.
I fixed it by closing the project (right-click, close project) and reopening it (double-click the closed project), which seemed to force eclipse to "notice" that the build path problems had been corrected.
For my mac osx Eclipse, I followed following steps:
Right CLick on your project, Choose Build Path > Configure Build Path
Select Libraries Tab and delete any arbitrary library or anything else causing errors in Build Path.
Click on Add Library button, Select JRE System Library and click Next.
Choose last Radiobutton option Workspace default JRE and click Finish.
Clean and build your project.
get a cmd and run
mvn eclipse:eclipse
This is what worked for me:
Go to ~/.m2/repository and deleted everything there by running rm
-rf. Make sure everything is deleted.
Re-launch eclipse or STS
Right click on project -> Maven -> update project.
On my Mac this is what worked for me
Project > Clean (errors and warnings will remain or increase after this)
Close Eclipse
Reopen Eclipse (errors show momentarily and then disappear, warnings remain)
You are good to go and can now run your project
I've seen this problem a few times (got it again right now on my home computer with Eclipse 4.2).
Forcing a resave (by changing the classpath e.g. by adding a library, save, change-back) works temporarily. But the problem comes back when Eclipse is restarted :(
Nuking the Eclipse workspace from orbit will permanently fix it (until next time). But there must be a better way!
just check if any unnecessary Jars are added in your library or not. if yes, then simply remove that jars from your library and clean your project once. Its worked for me.
In Eclipse this worked for me: right click project. -> Properties -> Library Section; Add (any library at all) -> select library and click remove -> press okay.
I ran into this annoying issue with the Play framework. It would be nice if there was some way of knowing what build errors Eclipse is unhappy about, but it's not going to tell you. With one project, I was able to close the project, rebuild the Eclipse configuration with sbt eclipse, and reopen. With an almost identical project, that didn't work. But deleting the project, rebuilding the Eclipse configuration with sbt eclipse, and importing, did the trick.
If you think you've done everything correctly but Eclipse still complains about the jars, refresh the folder where the jars are and make sure eclipse knows they've been added to the project. Specifying the file path alone is (apparently) not enough
I've faced this issue a couple of times and following the below steps has resolved both the times.
1. Navigate to C:\Users\
2. locate the ".m2" folder and delete it.
Now navigate to the particular project in eclipse and Right-click on the project > Maven > Update Project
wait until the project is updated and in my case following the above steps resolved both the times.
I was getting an additional warning
The compiler compliance specified is 1.6 but a JRE 1.8 is used
Resolving this warning make the error also go away. The steps are as follows:
I right-clicked on it, then clicked on Quick Fix. From the dialog that opened I selected Open the Compiler Compliance property page, and clicked the Finish button.
(This is same as Java Compiler section.)
In this dialog I found the Compiler compliance level drop down and changed 1.6 to 1.8, and clicked on Apply and close.
I got a message box Compiler Settings Changed which asked if I wanted to Build the project now?. I clicked on Yes.
The build path error went away.
Go to > Right CLick on your project folder > Build Path > Configure Build Path > Libraries Tab > remove project and external dependencies > apply & close
Now, Gradle refresh your project.
Added below to pom.xml file and it worked eventually:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>4.0.0</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
Goto to Project=>Build Automatically . Make sure it is ticked

After creating android project in Eclipse ADT, tons of errors show up

I'm using eclipse ADT (most recent version) to develop some android apps. I've followed the getting started tutorial at the dev.android.com and it worked just fine.
But when i tried to create another project with the same targets and sdk's, i've got nothing but errors:
Some errors and my sdk's:
That's the same sdk's i used before these errors started showing up.
What can be causing this?
EDIT: my project won't generate the R.java file
You might need to add a support library to your new project.
Check this link for downloading the support libraries -
http://developer.android.com/tools/support-library/setup.html#download
Please notice that you need to import them into your eclipse and then include one (preferably the newest, not sure about this) in your project.
EDIT:
Before downloading the support libraries you should first check if you have them already.
Try this, right click project folder in the eclipse package explorer, Properties>Android>Library>Add>select a library if you have one.
There might be an invalid library included in your project already, if that happens then you will see it in the Library>Add> menu, remove it and add a new one.
You might have clean your project ........
if yes.....you must check whether R.java file is present in **Project(your project)->gen->package name->R.java**
if not than u have to update Tool Folder in SDK manager

Eclipse Warning: Unknown Faceted Project

I have a parent Maven project (using java facet version 1.7) which includes some modules. I got the following warning from Eclipse Juno SR1:
Implementation of project facet java could not be found.
Functionality will be limited (Unknown Faceted Project Problem)
How can I get rid of this error? Quick fix didn't found anything. Interestingly, I do not have Project Facet entry in the Project properties dialog.
This occurs when you upgrade your IDE or open a project from older IDE into a new one.
To solve (remove the unsupported facet):
open your project folder;
goto to .settings sub-folder
edit the org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml file
remove the installed facet that refers to your error
if it doesn't solve immediately (if you edit the file right in Eclipse), try to close and reopen project or restart eclipse.
After all done, you may, if not done yet, mark the correct facet to your project to work.
Just delete the file
org.eclipse.wst.common.project.facet.core.xml
in the .settings folder.
It worked for me .
I think you can check your project properties. and then click the Project Facets. then show the dialog box. in dialog box u can check your project is mark to java.
in dynamic app, mark the dynamic web module, java, javascript.
I had this problem.
I found the Eclipse project was set to use JDK1.5 and I only had Java 1.6 installed.
After changing the version to 1.6, the offending warning disappeared.
I tried all the other answers at the time of this answer, and deleting the project (not the data) and re-importing was the only way to fix the issue for me.

Google Eclipse plugin recompile problem

I have installed Eclipse Helios(3.6) and Google plugin to develope app in GAE/J.Then created project and runned it sucessufull. Later made some changes in source code but it doesnt recompiled. Previous compiled version is in use. It doesnt compile until I make changes in appengine-web.xml. Could you suggest how to solve the problem please?
PS : I had the same problem in Eclipse 3.5. Also I added javac to SYSTEMPATH.
You could try the following:
the folder where your java files are in is a "source folder" (check it via project properties, "build path")
turn on "build automatically"? Can be found in Menu "Project"
Maybe refreshing your workspace automatically will help (Window->Preferences, and search for workspace)
The Project is automatically not builded or recompiled, when there are problems marked by eclipse. Take a look into the marker panel of eclipse and solve the problems.

Android Eclipse Classpath - want to add classpath container path but eclipse won't let me

I'm using Eclipse to learn to develop Android applications in Java. I haven't used Eclipse before.
The project I'm trying to use (supplied by OReilly as part of 'Android Application Development') is MJAndroid. When attempting to run the project, the Run fails, and the Problems tab mentions com.java.Object can't be found, and Eclipse asks me to check the build path. Clicking
Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries, the message 'Unable to get system library for the project' is displayed.
On a working project, Properties -> Java Build Path -> Libraries has an entry for Android 1.1, which if I click Edit, has the classpath container path of com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK.
It seems a simple matter of adding the correct container path to my non-working project. However Eclipse seems determined to make this as difficult as possible. No matter what I chose to add - jars, externals jars, variables, libraries, class folders, external class folders, nothing seems to take the form of 'com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK' that the 'Android 1.1' entry on the working app has.
How can I add this namespace to my project so it resembles the working one?
I'm quite sure it's a problem with Eclipse's somewhat odd user interface. Frankly there' nothing I'd prefer more than a file to modify and set such information - my background is in Python, and the whole eclipse environment seems an unnecessary burden.
I had faced the same issue when I imported a sample code downloaded from the internet. I am using android sdk 1.5 with 0.9 ADT plugins. Here is a simpler way to fix the andoid library reference issues
Right click on the project which has
issues and select properties
Select the appropriate Android build
(1.1, 1.5 or 1.5 with google api) and
say ok
Again right click on the project and
select "Android Tools > Fix Project
Properties"
Fix the imports once (if required)
Refresh the project and you should be
ready to go without any manual
editing
I faced this same problem after importing a project through GIT. The problem was that I didn't have the same target android platform installed, and the build path somehow got corrupted.
The first obvious thing i did was changing the target sdk in the project.properties, but even after cleaning up the project and Android Tools > Fix Project Properties, it didn't help and I was still getting the build error.
My solution after wasting close to 1 hour trying to figure this out?
RESTART ECLIPSE
Everything worked fine after that. Eclipse is pretty fickle. Only through years of experience you'll then understand her well. :)
Had the same problem and it turns out the Android SDK Location was not set which was a really simple fix. Go to Window->Preferences, click on 'Android' on the left hand menu, fill in the location of the Android SDK (e.g. C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk) and click OK. Everything worked fine for me after that.
Found the answer in this set up guide: http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/library/Installing-Android-Dev-Environment/
Sometimes Eclipse can get a bit funny (technical term) with classpath container resolution.
You have a working project in your workspace, so you can rule out plugin installation issues. You could try opening the .classpath file (hidden by default, select the triangle in the top-right of the Package Explorer view, select Filters... and uncheck .* resources) and manually adding the container declaration.
`<classpathentry kind="con" path="com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.ANDROID_FRAMEWORK"/>`
You may then have to close the project and open it again (right-click->Close Project) before Eclipse recognises the change.
You may also find that there is an Android builder and/or nature. If you compare the .project files for the working and non-working versions you may see entries for Android builders/natures. Copying the relevant entries may resolve the issue.
sometimes, eclipse can help you.
In Android projects, click right button on the project-> Android Tools -> Fix Project Properties.
It's usefull in class path errors!!
Luck!
I would verify you have the correct version of Java installed as well as the Android SDK. I would recommend installing/reinstalling the ADT plugin in your eclipse, makes it alot easier to create the android project.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/installing.html
Also. I guess the path of the Android SDK must be setup correctly. This happened when I was overloaded with projects and I decided to create a new workspace copying some existing stuff into it.
Seems that the new workspace requires you to setup these details too once again
Is that setup properly?
