Every time I try to import a project downloaded from googlecode into Eclipse but I get some errors:
The project was not built since its build
Goto eclipse → Preferences → Java → Build path.
Do you see a JRE_LIB configured there? If not, add JRE_LIB from JDK/jre lib location. These can be overridden per project. It seems your eclipse isn't aware of Java libraries.
JRE_LIB
JDK/jre
