Eclipse Java Missing required source folder: 'src'

Question

I imported a jar file into workspace and this is the error I get:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Project 'Interpreter1' is missing required source folder: 'src' Interpreter1 Build path Build Path Problem

How can i get rid of this error?

Solution 1

Right-Click Project --> Build Path --> Configure Build Path; unselect the SRC, save, select again.

This solved my problem.

Solution 2

Go to the Build Path dialog (right-click project > Build Path > Configure Build Path) and make sure you have the correct source folder listed, and make sure it exists.

The source folder is the one that holds your sources, usuglaly in the form: project/src/com/yourpackage/...

Solution 3

Right Click Project -> New -> Folder -> Folder Name: src -> Finish

Solution 4

Edit your .classpath file. (Or via the project build path).

Solution 5

Here's what worked for me: right click the project-> source -> format After that just drag and drop the source folder into eclipse under the project and select link.

good luck!

This worked for me. On the source tab I used the remove button and removed the folders that were listed but not found.
