Having a problem in building an existing dynamic web project in eclipse

I am importing an existing project in my eclipse. And I am getting this error, don't know how to fix it. Could it be because of JRE or JDK version. I am kinda new to this so I am very lost. I am searching for advice if any...

The below is the error shown:

Java Build Path Problem

*Archive for required library: '.project' in project 'C***ch2' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file* screenshot of errors

This is the classpath

.classpath

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>
    <classpathentry exported="true" kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jst.server.core.container/org.eclipse.jst.server.tomcat.runtimeTarget/Apache Tomcat v7.0">

Solution

  • Don't make a second question identical to your first one. Having a problem in building an existing java project in eclipse

    The message is saying that the .project file isn't a valid library. It's not a jar file or a directory containing a folder structure of class files. Remove that entry from your project's Java Build Path.
