Have similar problem as in this bug. There is a bunch of package-info.java files in /src and /test folders, so they have same package. Eclipse show error:
"The type **package-info** is already defined" I can delete package-info.java files either in /test or /src to avoid problem indication. But this workaround is not very comfort since I am using SCM and need to delete this files all time after update. Same for Eclipse Platform 4.2.0.I20120608-1400

package-info. java is a way to apply java annotations at the package level. In this case Jaxb is using package-level annotations to indicate the namespace, and to specify namespace qualification for attributes (source). Follow this answer to receive notifications.
The package-info. java is a Java file that can be added to any Java source package. Its purpose is to provide a home for package level documentation and package level annotations.
In IntelliJ IDEA, we can right-click on the package and select New-> package-info. java: Eclipse's New Java Package option allows us to generate a package-info.
You can do this -->
Go to Build path -> configure build path -->
in Source tab -->
select the package (in which you have these problematic package-info.java file) for eg. project-name/src/test/java
click on exclude -> and in exclusion pattern add "**/package-info.java"
this should solve the problem, as plainly you are asking eclipse to exclude these files, and thus you wouldn't have to delete those files and solving your SCM related issues
