Add selenium jars and other required jars to build path of your project in Eclipse and Rebuild the project.

Add jars like this

Right click on project --> Configure BuildPath --> Java Build Path Libraries -->

Double click on JRE SYSTEM LIBRARY --> Then select alternate JRE

Answer 3

delete module-info.java file or any other module file that was created at the time of creating the project. That will resolve the issue.

Answer 4

You have to remove the module-info.java class from project it will works. Module info is not required for selenium project. So you can remove it :)

Answer 5

This error message...

The import org cannot be resolved

...implies that your program was unable to resolve the following imports:

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

Your main issue for the imports not getting reslved is circular-dependency.

Though you have added all the selenium jars and relative jars but you have named the program Module / Package as selenium as follows:

package selenium;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

This is causing a circular-dependency hence the imports are not getting resolved through the selenium related jars.

Solution

Changing/Modifying the Module / Package name from selenium to something else, e.g. myProgram will solve the issue.
