Sometimes, a project will fail to build with an error such as: Project 'myproject' is missing required Java project: 'parent_project' But the required project is right there in Eclipse! Refresh & clean doesn't fix this error. Removing the parent_project, saving the modified build-path, then re-adding the parent_project does fix it. However the fix is often only for the current session: once this starts happening, it seems to re-occur. It may or may not be relevant that I use git to synchronise projects between computers. -- Configuration Details -- Product: Eclipse 1.4.2.20120131-1457 (org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product) Installed Features: org.eclipse.jdt 3.7.2.v20120120-1414-7z8gFcuFMP7BW5XTz0jLTnz0l9B1

Hi Daniel, when this bug re-occurs, did you check the build path of the project? Is the 'parent_project' still listed there or is the entry removed? Jay, can you please follow up? Thanks!

Yes - the re-occurrence follows the same pattern: 'parent_project' is listed on the build path (& present in the workspace), but I get an error that it's missing.
Can you give your <workspace>/.metadata/.log file? Do you use the same git clone for different workspaces/computers?
