As a reason of this problem  some code is broken or undefined You may see an error in a java class such as  The type javax servlet http HttpSession cannot be resolved  It is indirectly referenced from required  class files   you shuold download   javax servlet jar  as mentioned before  Then configure your project build path  add the javax servlet jar as an external jar I hope it fixes the problem At least it worked for me
