Why can't eclipse resolve class in same package?

Question

I hit F5 ~1000 times and restarted eclipse (also with -clean), deleted /bin, but nothing helps. Manually importing DoodleClient does not help. DoodleClient exists and is perfect

Answer 1

I've had the same problem with my Java project in eclipse. mvn clean-ing the project did not help strangely. I had to edit the supposedly "missing" class, save it, then clean and rebuild the project. That fixed the issue.

Answer 2

In my case, the DoodleClient class had all its lines commented. It is not the way i wrote the class, it was a side effect of solving improperly a SVN conflict. So if you just ran an update on your project, you might perhaps want to check again the contents of your file.

Answer 3

I tried to refresh the workspace (F5) and clean the project, but that did not do the trick. What worked for me was to right-click on the project and select 'Close Project'.

Once closed I re-opened the project. This seemed to refresh all the files for the project in Eclipse.

Answer 4

Right click on project-> Build Path ->Configure Build Path->Java Build Path -> then Fix issues in JRE System Library

Answer 5

I got the same error in Maven project. Running Maven Clean and closing the project and reopening didn't work for me. Right click project -> Maven -> Update Project worked for me.

Answer 6

I have the same issue every day, and the solution is different every time. :) You can try something like these:

• Project menu - Clean
• Project - Maven - Update project (Alt+F5)
• Project - Refresh
• Project - Run as - Maven clean
• Project - Run as - Maven install
• Restart Eclipse
• Remove application from servlet container (if it is web app)
• Pray.. :)
