Why is my Eclipse Java package being treated as a folder?

Question

My Eclipse Java package is treated as a folder; can anyone suggest what\'s wrong?

Answer 1

I have faced the same issue and found the solution, as to add Java Nature in .project file of the current application.

---

Project natures are used in the Eclipse IDE in order to configure projects in the workspace. One project may have several project natures. The most popular project nature is org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature, which is used to indicate that a project is a Java project.

Add org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature and its corresponding builder in the .project file of an application as shown below:

    MyJavaApplication
    
    
    
        
            org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder
            
        
        
    
    
        org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature
        
    

Project view as Package structure:

Projects and its dependent modules as Hierarchical structure.
