Problem: -------- The type java.lang.Object cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files Problem cause: -------------- JDK1.3.1 was configured at Preferences.Java.Installed JREs, but the .classpath file contained: <classpathentry exported="true" kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JDK 1.3.1"/> This entry was never updated even though a new JDK was added. After changing the name to JDK 1.3.1 it worked and best is, the error message never appeared again even after changing back the name to JDK1.3.1 (the .classpath file was updated correctly). Seems to be an Eclipse 3.1 bug. Background-Infos: ----------------- This may happen when a project is imported into Eclipse from scratch for which a .classpath file aready exists. Problem solution: ----------------- Check .classpath file and name your JRE exactly as you see in StandardVMType/... Task for the eclipse developers ------------------------------- Take care that .classpath file is updated correctly if an eclipse project is imported and a JRE is added.

I am not sure where install/update comes into play here?

Well, you opened this bug against Eclipse's Install/Update component, but I can't see anywhere that you are using it.
Got your point. I might have choosen the wrong component. Anyway the bug is very old and maybe not even existing andymore in the current code base. I suggest to close the bug - works for me. Kind Regards Renato
Thanks Renato.
When I start up Eclipse, this error is visible in the first line of code which states the package: The type java.lang.String cannot be resolved. It is indirectly referenced from required .class files I do not believe I have done anything wrong, other than going into my libraries and accidentally deleting some things. I had to update to MacOS Big Sur, and did not have the storage. After deleting many items from my Mac, I ran Eclipse again, and this error immediately popped up again. I've tried the suggested uninstalling the JRE System Library and reinstalling it, but to no avail. Can somebody please help me?
