The import javax.annotation.Resource cannot be resolved

Question

I have tried to resolve by adding missing/unnecessary jar's but nothing works for me. if you know how to resolve this issue then kindly help... Thank you in advance.

I am using JDK 9.0.4 installed in this IDE Eclipse 4.7 Oxygen December 2017

Windows 10

Servlet 4.0

JSP 2.3

JSTL tags

Answer 1

Eclipse is facing some bugs in IDE 4.7 it is not fully compitable with JDK 9 like in with JDK 9 IDE is not generating toString() function also...

so i change the JDK 9 to jdk 8.1 and it solves all the problem.

to change the JDK...

Window > Preferences > Installed JREs >>> Change the JDK 9 to JDK xx

AND/OR

Right Click Project > Properties > JRE > Edit >>> YOUR ALTERNATIVE JDK xx

This had solved my problem.

Answer 2

I have encountered the same problem with you.
Download javax.annotation.jar online and add to your library may help.
