de.hybris.eventtracking.model.events.AbstractTrackingEvent cannot be resolved to a type - eclipse

Question

I just finished configuring hybris and tried to set up the eclipse project. As per guidelines in the wiki.hybris, I imported all the extensions into the eclipse project. When I try into build and clean, I get more than 3000 compiler errors. One of the errors is the class AbstractTrackingEvent cannot be resolved to a type. I looked for the particular class in the project folder. I could not find the folder events under de.hybris.eventtracking.model, which is the cause of the issue.
Am I missing anything while importing the project? There are many such type of issues in my eclipse project. Please let me know how to fix it. I have attached the screenshot for reference.
Note: I am using hybris-commerce-suite 5.7.0.8
As requested, I am adding the source code.
package de.hybris.eventtracking.services.populators;
import de.hybris.eventtracking.model.events.AbstractTrackingEvent;
import de.hybris.eventtracking.services.constants.TrackingEventJsonFields;

{
this.mapper = mapper;
}
public ObjectMapper getMapper()
{
return mapper;
}
protected Map<String, Object> getPageScopedCvar(final Map<String, Object> trackingEventData)
{
final String cvar = (String) trackingEventData.get(TrackingEventJsonFields.COMMON_CVAR_PAGE.getKey());
Map<String, Object> customVariablesPageScoped = null;
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(cvar))
{
try
{
customVariablesPageScoped = getMapper().readValue(cvar, Map.class);
}
catch (final IOException e)
{
throw new ConversionException("Error extracting custom page scoped variables from: " + cvar, e);
}
}
return customVariablesPageScoped;
}
}

Answer 1

"As per guidelines in the wiki.hybris, I imported all the extensions into the eclipse project."
I don't think the guidelines tell you this. Basically, you want the projects loaded to be the same as those defined in your localextensions.xml and their dependencies. The reason you can't see those is they are not built.
Ensure you have run 'ant build' successfully, refresh the platform project, remove any extensions from your workspace that are not needed for your project, and clean and build in eclipse.

Answer 2

Make sure you have provided the project dependencies in each project by checking their individual extensioninfo.xml files as shown in below image.
Also sometimes dependent libraries are not imported properly check for those too.
