Why is my Eclipse Java package being treated as a folder?

Question

My Eclipse Java package is treated as a folder; can anyone suggest what\'s wrong?

Answer 1

Creating a package makes an older one instead.

I had the same problem, and I was not able to solve it. But I suggest this, as a possibility. After copying and moving classes between packages, any file, it could be that the classpath has different information and that it hasn't been updated.

After having read some comments above, I now am only using source folders instead the standard source Folder "src". Inserting packages in any new source folder always runs.

Answer 2

i had the exact same Problem after i added the packege in java build path -> libraries -> add class folder...

Dont ask why i did this ^^ but to resolve the Problem i just had to go to Project->Properties->java build path->Source

And there it was in the Excluded part. Just remove it from the exclusion pattern and perhaps also from the libraries section.

Answer 3

Right click on Project > Configure > Convert to Faceted Form > Click on apply and OK

This one has worked for me.

Answer 4

go into your javabuildpath in properties and remove the folder from your Exclusions

Answer 5

No Need of delete, re-create etc.

Just modify .classpath file

<classpath>
<classpathentry kind="src" output="target/classes" path="src/main/java">
    <attributes>
     ........

Answer 6

First, ensure that you're in the "Package Explorer" view of the Java Perspective.

Secondly, it needs to be made a Source Folder.

If you're in the Java Project, right click on the folder and select "Build Path" > "Use as Source Folder"

Something like what is shown here:

Observe that I am in Java perspective and see how the style of the folders "source" and "src" are different in appearance.
