Eclipse is facing some bugs in IDE 4.7 it is not fully compitable with JDK 9 like in with JDK 9 IDE is not generating toString() function also...

so i change the JDK 9 to jdk 8.1 and it solves all the problem.

to change the JDK...

Window > Preferences > Installed JREs >>> Change the JDK 9 to JDK xx

AND/OR

Right Click Project > Properties > JRE > Edit >>> YOUR ALTERNATIVE JDK xx

This had solved my problem.

I have encountered the same problem with you.
Download javax.annotation.jar online and add to your library may help.

Just mention, in Eclipse Version: 2020-03 (4.15.0) " Installed JREs" is located under the "Java" menu point. So, the path to making the aforementioned changes is the following: Window > Preferences >Java >Installed JREs.
