How to Compile Eclipse Project without 'res' directory - eclipse

I have one Android Eclipse project without 'res' directory in it.
It have only one file which is an common service, and i don't need the resource for this project.
So how can I tell eclipse that i don't need resources for this project.

Right click your project -> Properties. Then Java Build Path -> Source, select the res entry and click Remove.

You can just delete the folder assuming you are not using anything in the resources folder such as values, layouts, or images - this includes your application icons.
To delete the folder just right click it and delete it and make sure it is not in your Build Path.
You will not be able to get rid of the gen folder however, as Android build this dynamically since it is accessed through the SDK.

I need Netbeans help. NO project's -src node appears so no source files--only -Libraries node shows

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.

Eclipse IDE -- how do I put my external .jar files into a lib folder?

Eclipse IDE - Can someone please tell me how I can group my external .jar files into a C:\lib folder? I'd really like have them all in a lib folder and not taking up vertical space in the root of my project (see attachment).
I have read some of the similar posts here and tried them but my projects still are not 'seeing' the needed .jar files! It's very frustrating.
I know how to add a Folder but how do I tell Eclipse my .jar folders are in c:\lib so my projects will execute? I'm not even sure if making a lib folder in my project is even related to the fact that my jar files happen to be in c:\lib.
Thanks...

From your description it sounds to me like you want the jars to stop taking up space in the root of your project. I am not sure how you initially added them but if I am adding external jars this is what I usually do:
Right click on your project, select properties, then Java Build Path, and then click the libraries tab, click on add external jars and then you can select each one individually (which would be a pain) or you can select them all at once if they are in the same folder (hence the c:/lib). Click OK and it should add them into a Referenced Libraries folder like so:
Also, when you open the libraries tab initially, if all of your jars show there, remove them before proceeding as you don't want to import them twice into your application (If that's even posssible, not sure).
Edit
Switch to Package explorer:
Click on Window > Show View > Package Explorer
Update
If you want to add c:\lib to your project do this:
Right click on your project, highlight build path, click Add Libraries..., in the list select User Library, click Next, click User Libraries... on the right. A new window will open. Click New... and then give the library a name such as "clibs". Click OK and then highlight the new library and click add external jars. Select the jars you want from c:/lib and then click OK. Now you can add that User library to any application you want and it will not "pile" up in the root directory under Project View.
That is just eclipse's way of displaying what libraries are on the build path of the project. It doesn't mean that they are on the root of the project, those are just references to those jars ( that maybe any-where on the system ).
A good practice is to get all the jars required by your project and put them in a folder. Next, you can either declare that folder as a library from eclipse and add that library on your build-path or you can just add the jars directly. But they will still be displayed like you are seeing them already. The true path of where these jars are located will be written next to them (like you can see in the attachment C:\selenium....).

Adding extra files needed for build after using svn.... IntelliJ or Eclipse

Ok guys,
I have checked out a project using svn but I can not build because I get a build path error. I need access to a folder called "common" which has the other resources I need to build which is seperate directory on the server which is not part of the project. How can I include that directory so I can build? Sorry I am new to SVN.
In intellij, you can open up your 'Project Structure' and navigate to your module. Go to the 'Sources' tab and you can add your other paths there. This is assuming you can access your 'common' directory from where you want to build.

.class file opens instead of .java while debugging

Current setup:
MainProject which is a Library Project
BranchProject which is a new projects and has MainProject as a Reference
Whenever I debug and a file from MainProject is on focus (actually BranchProject has only graphic and xml layout changes) the Debug window opens a .class file which is read only. I want it to open the .java file so I can edit it directly.
Skyler's answer from this post worked for me:
Opening source code from debug view edits .class after Android R18 update
Here is a summary:
The fix is to right click the Project name in the debug view, and select "Edit Source Lookup..." from the menu. From there, remove the Default lookup path. After that, manually add the associated projects (not jars) that your project references. This is done by clicking Add, selecting Java Project, then checking the appropriate projects.
When you're using a Library project one of the things you're in fact doing is compiling your Library project into a jar and then referencing that jar in your calling Project.
If you right click the Project, and select "Configure Build Path" you'll see a tab called "Libraries", if you look inside "Android Dependencies" you'll notice a list of jar's corresponding to your Library projects.
These jars are expandable, showing you that they have a slot for a source attachment. Usually this would be editable allowing you to directly link the source but in terms of ADT these are already filled and are uneditable.
When debugging these files you're linked to a read-only class file with this attached source. This is because you're not running against source files directly, you're running against a pre-compiled class file. Until the ADT team get this functionality in place, you're pretty much forced to jump to the direct source code and rebuild everything.
EDIT
See #Steven linked answer :)
I faced the same issue while debugging the a .java file using Eclipse IDE. As per my understanding this issue comes when we put the xyz.class file of xyz.java file or JAR at the project build path. Delete the .class or JAR file from the project class path and rerun .java file in the debug mode. This time you see a source not found window. Click on "Source not found" button and check "Find duplicates..." at the bottom of the window. Done your problem is solved :)
The problem is that the class file is preferred over the java (by default), here is how you can change that for Eclipse (tested on NEON 2):
Right-click on the Project in the Project-Explorer, click Properties
On the new window select: Run/Debug Settings
Create a new configuration (or duplicate another one)
Select the new config and click Edit...
Go to the tab Source
Select the Default and Remove
Create a new path with Add..., select Java Library, then JRE System Library
Create a new path with Add..., select the location where the sourcecode is by Workspace folder (if it is a project in the same workspace) or File System directory (it it is not)
I think this depends on, how you set up the dependency in eclipse. You should set up your BranchProject to depend on the source-Files of your MainProject. If you depend on compiles Class-Files is obvious that the debugger opens the class files, because it does not know about the source files.
I found a good solution for me here:
Using Android library in eclipse and jumping to class files instead of source file that is within eclipse workspace
Simply, select each library project your project depends on, and use Top or Up to move it above the projects outputs. Eg. move all library projects to the top.
Open main project properties -> Java Build Path -> Projects tab and add there projects the main project depend on.
Switch to Order and Export tab and uncheck Android Dependencies
Enjoy
If you tried all above hints and it still doesn't work try this solution, it worked form me:
Right-click on the Project in the Package-Explorer, click Build Path -> Configure Build Path...
Select tab Order and Export
select library that you can't reach code and then click on button Bottom
Then click on Apply and Close
hope this can help you
Most of the time it happens when specific source folder are not added in build path Sources tab.
Right-click on the Project in the Package-Explorer, click Build Path -> Configure Build Path -> Source Tab
Add the source folder if your project source folder is not there.
Select Add folder -> select your project source folder specifically. Eg: project_name/src . Then Apply it and restart server.

Where is the resources folder for my project in Xcode 4?

When I create a new project in Xcode 4 it does not create the resources folder like Xcode 3 used to do. Is there a setting in Xcode 4 to make this work?
As badcat indicates in his comments, the Resources folder was merely a group within the project template. To create your own Resources group, either right-click on the project explorer view and choose New Group, or go to the menu option File | New | New Group.
If you want to make sure that items which should be resources are copied into the correct location in your application bundle, you can click on the name of your project in the project explorer on the left of the screen and go to the Build Phases tab. You can expand the Copy Bundle Resources build phase (or whatever it's called in your project) and see the files that will be copied over. If something is missing, you can drag it into that list from the project explorer.
Not sure what you mean by "Resources" folder, but maybe this answer helps you with that:
Where is build output going?
Check out this question if you don't just want the group but also the physical folder on your filesystem: How do I get the resources folder back in Xcode 4?
