When compiling some projects you can get:

"The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved"

This is not a very helpful error message - is there any way it could display more information about WHAT those build path errors are?

Reproducible: Always

What do you see when you go to "Project>Build Path>Configure Build Path..." ?

If you edit the buildpath when you have such errors, it should be sufficient to get more details on the errors.
Build path errors can have multiple causes and it would need a long error message to be explained.

Could you please tell me if you don't get enough information by checking the build path of the corresponding project (see comment 1)?
Thanks.

Closing as WORKSFORME.
Editing the build path should give enough information on the actual issues.
Reopen if this is not enough and explain why.
