So I had to delete my project and then reclone it from my repository, but when I clone down the project and I open it, other files from some time ago show in there, how is this possible?
Example this is the cloned directory:
But when I open the project, it shows this project structure:
Also it produces the following error when attempting to build the project:
Build input file cannot be found: '/Users/Development/Projects/MapGlider/Application/Utilities/Extensions.swift'. Did you forget to declare this file as an output of a script phase or custom build rule which produces it?
All help will be appreciated!
The structure of the project as you see it in Xcode is a combination of file system + information about your project in YourProject.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj file. So you have a mismatch between file system and that file, which is typically a result of inaccurate checkin (for example some changes were done directly in file system, and the project was not updated), or a bad merge (developer A did everything right, developer B, or even the same developer on a different branch, overrode those changes incorrectly).
So what you need to do is to fix those errors one by one.
Note: the steps below assume the project is in your control. If you are using some script or tool to generate the project, you will have to address those issues via that tool or script instead.
First, fix the project structure:
Make sure Inspectors on the right side in Xcode are open. Choose File inspector tab
Focus on a folder inside Xcode, and check Name, Location and Full Path of the folder. Especially notice the Full Path, if it's incorrect, change it to a correct one. Here's the example how. Repeat for all folders and files you want to have in the project
Delete all folders and files you don't want to have in the project from Xcode. For example you can delete Extensions which appears as a file in your project, while it's actually a folder. Typically while deleting you should be able to delete them from file system as well if it exists, but if not, you can double check in file system and delete files / folders from there as well.
Add folders and files missing from the project if needed. Follow Add existing files and folders to a project section in the linked page.
Once you cleaned up the project, you need to review / fix all your project targets:
To fix the Project targets
Try to build each target. If it succeeds, most likely everything is resolved (although watch out for runtime errors for resource files - so you may need to test your app to ensure nothing is missing too).
If building a target fails, you will need to see why. For example
if file is missing from the target, but you already added it to the Xcode project, you can add it to the target (see this page).
if file is missing from the target and is not visible in Xcode, go back to step 4 of the previous procedure and add those files to Xcode project, and then add them to the target
if a file is nowhere to find and is not needed, you can delete it from target. If it was needed, then... well, you have a problem and need to locate your missing code in your source repo or rewrite it.
I need help. I was starting to work on a new project in Eclipse and so I decided to rid my package explorer space of any past projects within the IDE. I had 2 projects saved prior to opening the IDE: "new" and "project 1." I proceeded to delete project 1 successfully from the IDE permanently without any issues so I tried to delete "new." "new" was a project directory saved on my desktop and upon deletion within the IDE by right clicking, it deleted random files and folders on my desktop as well as other files I'm not aware of within a second, completely bypassing recycle bin-around 50GB of files. I tried to recover most of the files but they are fragmented and therefore damaged. Is this behaviour normal in Eclipse?
Basically in eclipse when you create a project, you create in a workspace. By default the project gets stored in the work space folder. However you can give a specific directory to save your project
The work space folder will usually have information regarding the projects. In eclipse we have 2 kind of delete. i.e.
1) Logical:- Project will get deleted from work space but there wont be any actual delete of files.
2) Physical:- Complete deletion of project.
I guess you would have opted the second one and the project would be corrupt. May be it had some dependent files outside which got deleted also.
usually when I want to remove the project , I go for soft delete. When I completely want to remove the project then I browse and delete the project folder itself.

I hope it's OK to ask this here. Netbeans forums isn't responding. If not, I'll delete this or ask for it to be deleted. I'm desperate so I'll face the wrath, if any.
I moved my Netbeans projects folder from one directory node to another to make backing up all my stuff easier. BAD MOVE.
Now when I open a project using Files | Open project (ctrl-shift-O) NO source files appear because there is no "+Source Packages" node to expand.
It looks like this for all projects, e.g. one named GBL:
Projects
-GBL
+Libraries
It doesn't look like this anymore:
Projects
-GBL
+Source Packages (How do I get this back?)
+Libraries
The Netbeans Properties for each project shows me the path it's using. Windows 7 Explorer shows me that the src, build, and nbproject folders contain files and ALL the source files are in the src folder for that path.
What have I done and more importantly what should I do to get back to being able to open a project normally?
(I've tried recreating the original Netbeans folder and using Windows Explorer to copy an entire project folder into it but: same result--all I see is the Libraries node under the project's name node.)
I just tried to Clean (and also Build) to see what would happen. Error:
ant -f C:\\Users\\Dov\\Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\BasicShirt -Dnb.internal.action.name=build jar
C:\Users\Dov\Documents\NetBeansProjects\BasicShirt\nbproject\build-impl.xml:[u]231[/u]:
Must set src.dir
I just Set Configuration by right-clicking the project's name and provided a path to the src folder.
NOW I SEE MY SOURCE FILES BUT NOW THIS line in the .xml file is flagged with similar message:
<fail unless="[u][b]test[/b][/u].src.dir">Must set test.src.dir</fail>
NOW what do I do? (Netbeans 7.4.)
If I could get rid of the 7.4 automatic creation of +Test Packages, I might be OK.
If you can help, I'd be very happy.
(I'm considering re-installing 7.3 if available or removing and reinstalling 7.4 and try to avoid the "testing" requirement, but there goes all my many tweaks of 7.4.)
Well, after considerable frustration with the problem, I solved it, essentially.
It's here, in total. My synopsis plus how it helped me follows. In short, I had to set up a new java project based on existing sources using the New Project Wiz and simply direct Netbeans to the sources.
File > New Project
Choose Java Project with Existing Sources.
Type a (new) project name and ...
... make the Project Folder contains the path to where you want the new project to be stored. (For me, this is the folder where Netbeans has been able to find my sources.)
Click Next for the Existing Sources page of the wizard and ...
5a. ... in the Source Packages Folder pane, click Add Folder and ...
5b. ... navigate to your sources and select the source root folder.
Clicking Next goes to the Includes/Excludes pane, which I didn't need to use.
I deleted a project in my workspace, then tried to create a new project with the same name. Eclipse told me that it overlaps the location of another project (the one I just deleted). How do I fix this?
This is what I did.
Go to Window --> Show View --> Project Explorer
Then right click on the project name that you want to delete and Click Delete.
In the dialogue box, check 'Delete Project Contents on disk'
It worked. I was able to create the project with same name again.
I had the same problem with the IBM Integration Toolkit, which is based on Eclipse. The problem also occurs in Android Studio, which is also based on Eclipse. crazyscot seems to have the right answer at A project with that name already exists in the workspace eclipse and his solution worked for me.
You need to open up the Project Explorer view (it may already be open) and delete the project from within there.
Go to Window >> Preferences >> General >> startup and shutdown >> workspace
theen select Recent work space then click Remove and close the program and open it again
You have to manually delete the project folder from your "workspace" directory (wherever you have defined it to be).
there will be a file .project xml file in the project and its content looks like
<projectDescription>
<name>ProjectName</name>
.
.
.
</projectDescription>
here ProjectName is the name of project you can change it to whatever you want.
First you create a project in some other location with the same name of your project as before.
Now delete this project by right clicking on project > Delete.
Do not check the dialog "Delete Project Contents on Disk".
Now you move your newly created project through file manager to the original location(location where you are not able to import your project).
Then import the project from the newly moved location(location where you are not able to import your project).
After deleting the project from Eclipse IDE(Project Explorer), remove it from work space folder as well. Workspace folder path - C:\Users\username\workspace (it can be different for your system).
try moving the project and try importing
go to tab window>preferences>search workspace> then make sure in last / is not in your recent workspace. Example-:/var/www/html
your url should like above.
With the same problem, I did a text search and found an XML file containing the name of the project.
I had copied the project from another project. Let's say that I copied project A to project B. Although the XML file in the new project (B) was named for project B, it had an entry which still referred to project A. When I edited it, the problem went away.
Simply remove the .classpath and .project files and try.
Go to create new project. Once there, select the project type. Mine was PHP project. The new PHP project screen will popup. There, click create a new project and give the project name which you used before. Then press finish.
If you need a 100% risk-free strategy, just right click the project and select 'export', and put it back where it was. Then, you can either continue using the project in your current directory (with no more popups) or switch over to the directory you were working in before. The side effect of the former is that you will have a duplicate project taking up a small amount of space. If anything, finish up what you need to do in the current directory, then pull (via git) from the original directory. Or, delete the project in the current directory, and import from the original directory to the target directory for the second time - though now, since it is the proper way, the issue will be resolved.
I met this problem just and I just figure out the main reason cause this problem is your copying pom.xml from another already existing project in your workspace.
So the way is find the pom.xml in your project folder and rename <name>conflicted Project name</name>.
In 2021, Using Ubuntu 20 here is simple way to remove it.
In Eclipse main Menu
Window -> Preferences
In the search type recent workspaces
Select and delete the project. click apply changes
Removing a project from an Eclipse workspace does not delete the files by default. You have to check a checkbox for that. This is a Good Thing. As you have not checked the checkbox, you have to delete the files manually using e.g. a file manager.
Note that there are files starting with . in an Eclipse project directory, such as .project. They are considered hidden files on Unices.
go to the folder and delete the file .project. This worked for me.
When I make changes to my working directory outside of Eclipse, in particular when I update my project under version control, newly added files will frequently not show up in the package explorer. Usually they'll show up after about 5 or so minutes (no idea why) but today it's been an hour and I kind of need these files so it's getting to be a problem. I tried:
restarting eclipse
cleaning and building the project
opening one of the missing files using File > Open File
The last of these opened the file but didn't get it to show up in the package explorer, and the type represented by that class was still invisible to other classes. Any thoughts?
As discovered, you need to refresh your workspace or project to see changes made to the filesystem outside of eclipse.
The eclipse workspace manages access to the files it controls, fires deltas on file changes to allow incremental builders to operate, etc.
The way to refresh the workspace is to select your project name in Package Explorer and press F5.
