Maven Project in Eclipse `org.springframework cannot be resolved to a type` from target path

I've rolled onto a maven project that when I run mvn clean install from command line builds and runs fine. I had this project displaying in Eclipse without errors earlier in the week before I hosed my system. This makes me think I have a configuration wrong and hoping someone can give me a sanity check.

Inside of Eclipse, I'm seeing reported errors related to org.springframework cannot be resolved to a type in files in paths like <project_path>/target/<project>-<version>/WEB-INF/... What is catching my eye is that path of target which is a derived folder.

Maven Dependencies Showing:

From the above screenshots, you can see that the related jar files are pulled properly from the maven dependencies. Any ideas on what I have misconfigured and why I'm seeing the errors from the target path?

The build and WebContent folders indicates that you haven't properly imported maven project into eclipse. Delete project in eclipse, delete all folder beside src, import existing maven project into eclipse. - Aleksandr M

The build and WebContent folders indicate that you haven't properly imported Maven project into the Eclipse, hence errors.

One of the way to fix this:

  • Delete project from the Eclipse.

  • Go to project folder and delete all not needed folders. (Leave src).

  • Go to Eclipse click File -> Import..., select Existing Maven Projects, select your project folder, Finish.
