I had wrong package names   main java hello and main test hello rather than com blabla hello     I renamed my src-folder to src main java and created another src-folder src test java  I renamed my package within src main java to com blabla hello I created another package with the same name in src test java

In my case the missing type was referencing an import for java class in a dependent jar   For some reason my project file was missing the javabuilder and therefore couldnt resolve the path to the import   Why it was missing in the first place I don t know  but adding these lines in fixed the error    lt buildCommand gt           lt name gt org eclipse jdt core javabuilder lt  name gt           lt arguments gt           lt  arguments gt   lt  buildCommand gt

I had my own instance of this error  and in my case none of the above solutions resolved the  cannot be resolved to a type  error by themselves  although they were necessary steps toward doing so  I found something silly that did though   This seemed to be due a bug in Eclipse  Luna Service Release 1a  4 4 1  in my case   In the file where you re seeing the error  try saving after making and then undoing a trivial change  e g  deleting one character and then typing it back in   For some reason this caused all my class references to resolve

You probably missed package declaration  package my demo service  public class CarService

I had this problem while the other class  CarService  was still empty  no methods  nothing  When it had methods and variables  the error was gone
