Code completion in eclipse: this compilation unit is not on the build path of a java project

[b_schnarr]

Hello at all,

I imported the activiti project from git into my eclipse workspace using the git import function. After that, I converted the project into a maven project. But when I try to use the code completion, I get the following error in eclipse: this compilation unit is not on the build path of a java project

Can anyone help me with this?

Best regards and thanks
Ben

There you can read: When using maven with multiproject and a parent project make sure you're not editing the file in the maven parent project.

Yes - indeed.

The way I always do it is simply import it in Eclipse using the maven plugin.
Point it to the root POM, and it will include the root + all modules.

I downloaded the zip-file from github. When I try to import the whole project using the eclipse maven plugin, eclipse hangs on the step "Validating activiti-engine /activiti-engine/src/test/resources/org/activiti/engine/test/api/repository/BpmnWithUnsafeContentXmlContent.bpmn20.xml (see this picture: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g2uucprtbl0fc1c/validation.PNG)

I simply did File –> Import –> Existing Maven Projects

Therefore, eclipse can not build the project. Did I something wrong?

I tried to build the project with mvn clean compile deploy -e
Maven tried to fetch files from https://oss.sonatype.org/service/local/staging/deploy/maven2/ which is password protected. I tried to build the official 5.15-Tag.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks and best regards

After installing "tycho project configurators" and after disabling the xml validations in eclipse, everything worked fine.

The xml validation error is due to http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2013/02/19/uploading-a-funny-xml-can-bring-down-your-server/

Indeed, if you're using Eclipse EE edition, xml validation is enabled by default.
