eclipse mistakenly interprets packages as “resourc

Question

I'm importing an existing source tree as an Eclipse Java project. When I do, I get errors in classes (such as mycompany.logging.LogEntry) along the following lines:

The package mycompany.logging does not match the expected package ""

The problem seems to be that Eclipse does not realize that the directory src/mycompany/logging is a package directory --- instead it thinks it's a source folder in its own right, analogous to src/, and that LogEntry is part of the default package in that folder.

Can anyone advise? Thanks very much.

Answer 1

Do you have, in your imported project, configured the source path to be src?

Then you should see packages like:

mycompany.logging
