Troubleshooting Eclipse path errors

Path errors occur in Eclipse projects after importing a project

Symptom

In Eclipse, Java build path errors can result if the M2_REPO classpath variable does not point to the Maven repository.

Cause

The Eclipse M2_REPO classpath variable is not set or does not correctly identify the location of the Maven repository.

Action
  • Configure the M2_REPO classpath variable with the directory that contains the Maven repository. For example:

    /home/.m2/repository/com/hp
