One of the build path issue is it cannot find the correct  src conf source folder  Right click on each project  Build Path   Configure Build Path  Under the Source tab  remove the folder with a red cross icon on the bottom right  It will work for the situation that there is a small red exclamation mark          bedore your project name

I think it s because of the  classpath getting saved with the deleted source folder configuration     Create the missing folder    src  in your case  manually inside the root of the project  When I say manually  I meant outside Eclipse  using the file explorer  Then  come back to eclipse and refresh the project  Now  the error saying it s already there will be gone  Now  Right click on the project   Build Path   Configure Build path  It should take us to the Java build path side menu  Make sure we are on the  Source  tab  Delete the source folder causing the problem  Now  maybe the folder might show up in the project structure and you may delete that too

In my case eclipse reported this in the Problems view on the parent project which does not have any code  I just delete the error whenever it is reported on this parent project where src folder is really not needed

In eclipse  you must be careful to create a  source folder   File- New- Source Folder    This way  it s automatically on your classpath  and  more importantly  Eclipse knows that these are compilable files   It s picky that way
