Eclipse (actually RAD) throwing WAR validation error (CHKJ3000E) on project

I have a project that I have just imported from CVS. It is working in several dozen other developers IDE, but in my case, it is reporting a problem:

CHKJ3000E: WAR Validation Failed: com.ibm.etools.j2ee.commonarchivecore.exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: WEB-INF/web.xml

Googling for this suggests its an issue with the way Eclipse loads the context. For some users, cleaning the project works. It didn't for me.

Any ideas on what I could attempt next to resolve it?

Solution

  • This is a common problem and is because of cache maintained by eclipse.

    Try clearing cache of plugins and doing a full clean ,you can also delete the existing server and create a new one.

    Refer here for more details , see people gave faced similar issue and clean and removing cache and restarting stuff like this have solved it for them.
