[java] This compilation unit is not on the build path of a Java project

When I try to use ctrl+space this error is shown:

This compilation unit is not on the build path of a Java project.

I see that there are similar topics but my work environment is Eclipse and i pull my project from Git (I import project as general project) and i use Apache Ant. Can anyone help me?

Add this to .project file

If it is a Maven project then sometimes re-importing of it helps:

1. Right-click the project in the Project Explorer and choose Delete.
2. File > Import... > Maven > Existing Maven Projects > Next > Root Directory > Browse your project from Disk.

Hope it will resolve the issue.

Go to Project-> right Click-> Select Properties -> project Facets -> modify the java version for your JDK version you are using.

In my case, I have Eclipse Maven project. I had the same issue and I posted detailed explanation of the issue and answer here Eclipse Maven - Code Completion fails "This compilation unit is not on the build path of a Java project" and "Failed to Download Index" Error

If your project is imported as an existing maven project then --> Just right click on project and do maven update. It resolved my similar issue.

For those who still have problems after attempting the suggestions above: I solved the issue by updating the maven project.

Another alternative to Loganathan Mohanraj's solution (which effectively does the same, but from the GUI):

1. Right-Click on your project
2. Go to "Properties"
3. Choose "Project Natures"
4. Click on "Add"
5. Choose "Java"
6. Click "Apply and Close"
