Answer 1

Re-check your axis version used with Eclipse (to be sure), as illustrated by this thread.

And try the procedure described here, and illustrated by this tutorial.

Choose the Axis2 war file's folder location in the Eclipse dialog at:

Window -> Preferences -> Web Services -> Axis2 Emitter 

Or if it still does not work:

Actually we found out that if you simply create a dummy web service with Axis2, the problem will also go away

Or:

It happens when your org.apache.axi2.facet plugin directory is corrupted (missing exploadedwar?).
The best way to fix this is copy over a good copy of that from another workspace (create a new one) over your existing workspace. You can find the directory at /.metadata/.plugins/org.apache.axis2.facet.
