Build ID: 3.4M1 I20070809-1105

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open Eclipse
2. Errors are shown against source files that should not be


More information:
This is an intermittent problem. Sometimes Eclipse seems to lose track of one or more user libraries that have been set on the java build path. The library does not appear in the package explorer. Imports and references to classes in the "missing" library show as code errors.

This is wrong as the library has not been touched in any way on the filesystem. It is still there.

Eclipse itself is confused because on opening project properties, navigating to the Java Build Path pane, the Libraries tab shows the "missing" library. The "missing" library is not in the list. Now click Add Library then User Library to go to the Add Library dialog with user libraries shown. The "missing" library is still listed. Click the checkbox. Now the Finish button is greyed out and an error message appears in the white status area at the top of the dialog stating 'One or more selected libraries are already on the build path'.

DIfficult to fix. Sometimes removing the library, cleaning project and re-adding fixes it. I think in at least some cases though that has failed.

I would advise to open a bug against Eclipse Foundation / Community / Bugzilla.
