Access restriction on jdk1.7/jre/lib/rt.jar

Question

hi folks I faced a very strange while creating my JAXB parser. When i tried to generate JAXB classes from eclipse then in one class it shows a very Strange error which is

Access restriction: The type QName is not accessible due to restriction on required library /usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.7.0_02/jre/lib/rt.jar

this is my class

package generated;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlElementDecl;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRegistry;
//import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.namespace.*;


@XmlRegistry
public class ObjectFactory {

AND HERE ON THIS LINE I AM GETTING THE ERROR MESSAGE

private final static QName _ExpenseReport_QNAME = new QName("", "expenseReport");

    /**
     * Create a new ObjectFactory that can be used to create new instances of schema derived classes for package: generated
     * 
     */
    public ObjectFactory() {
    }

    /**
     * Create an instance of {@link ExpenseT }
     * 
     */
    public ExpenseT createExpenseT() {
        return new ExpenseT();
    }

    /**
     * Create an instance of {@link UserT }
     * 
     */
    public UserT createUserT() {
        return new UserT();
    }

    /**
     * Create an instance of {@link ItemT }
     * 
     */
    public ItemT createItemT() {
        return new ItemT();
    }

    /**
     * Create an instance of {@link ItemListT }
     * 
     */
    public ItemListT createItemListT() {
        return new ItemListT();
    }

    /**
     * Create an instance of {@link JAXBElement }{@code <}{@link ExpenseT }{@code >}}
     * 
     */
    @XmlElementDecl(namespace = "", name = "expenseReport")
    public JAXBElement<ExpenseT> createExpenseReport(ExpenseT value) {
        return new JAXBElement<ExpenseT>(_ExpenseReport_QNAME, ExpenseT.class, null, value);
    }

}

This problem occurs when you class path is referring to JRE instead of the JDK in which the Project is open into , do one thing go to

Build Path > Libraries

Remove the Runtime that is included and add the jdk runtime , it should solve your problem now.
