Answer 1

It's worth mentioning as another answer that if you're using eGit, and your classpath gets updated because of say, a test coverage tool like Clover, that sometimes there's a cleanup hiccup that does not completely delete the contents of /path/to/git/repository/<project name>/bin/

Essentially, I used Eclipse's Error Log View, identified what was causing issues during this cleanup effort, navigated to the source directory, and manually deleted the <project name>/bin directory. Once that finished I went back to Eclipse and refreshed (F5) my project and the error went away.
