Go to src folder of the project and copy all the code from it to some temporary location and build the project. And now copy the actual code from temporary location to project src. And run the build again. Problem will be resolved.
The package statement should be the first line in the source file. There can be only one package statement in each source file, and it applies to all types in the file. If a package statement is not used then the class, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types will be placed in the current default package.
To create a package, you choose a name for the package (naming conventions are discussed in the next section) and put a package statement with that name at the top of every source file that contains the types (classes, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types) that you want to include in the package.
Package in Java is a mechanism to encapsulate a group of classes, sub packages and interfaces. Packages are used for: Preventing naming conflicts. For example there can be two classes with name Employee in two packages, college. staff.
Try closing and re-opening the file.
It is possible to get this error in eclipse when there is absolutely nothing wrong with the file location or package declaration. Try that before spending a lot of time trying these other solutions. Sometimes eclipse just gets confused. It's worked for me on a number of occasions. I credit the idea to Joshua Goldberg.
Eclipse expects the declared package to match the directory hierarchy - so it's expecting your Java file to be in a directory called "Devices" under your source root. At the moment it looks like the file is directly in your source root. So create the appropriate directory, and move the file in there.
Note that conventionally, packages are in lower case and include your organization name in reverse DNS order, e.g.
com.foo.devices;
Solution 1 : One solution that worked for me when this error "The declared package does not match the expected package" occured for a project I checked-out from eclipse CVS :
1.Right click the project in the navigation bar and click 'delete'
2.Make sure 'Delete project contents on disk' option is NOT checked, and click OK.
3.Now after the project is deleted, go to File -> Import -> General -> Existing Projects into Workspace
4.Select your workspace from the directory listing and check the box next to your project name. Click 'Finish'
Solution 2 : Once again I got this error with the following message
Eclipse build errors - java.lang.Object cannot be resolved I had to follow another route mention here and the error went away.
In the mean time, the work around is to remove the JRE System Library from the project and then add it back again. Here are the steps:
Hopefully the error will be resolved ...
I resolved the problem by following these steps:
Select the project - Right click - java build path.
In source tab - you change the src to src/main/java.
Eclipse will reorder all the project.
