package statements that work using jdk-8u144 do not working in Eclipse [message #1771819]

I have java software which has been on hold the last two years and I'm just getting back to it. The original development was done using Eclipse Juno and worked there.

I have installed the Oxygen release and created a project where the source code points back to my development area on my file system. I have over a 1000 error messages. I have looked at a sample of the error messages and a good number of them are identical to or relate to the error message:

The declared package "bfs.xxx" does not match the expected package "xxx"

where 'xxx' is the name of the directory containing the class file and 'bfs' is the parent directory.

How do I let Eclipse know that "bfs.xxx" really is the package name that I want to use?

Just organize your folder structure in a way that the type declaring "package bfs.xxx;" sits in a folder bfs/xxx relative to your source folder.
I.e., when your Java Build Path configures "YourProject/src" as a source folder, the correct location would be "YourPorject/src/bfs/xxx/".

I don't think that I can. When I created the project, it allowed me to link to my source directory 'bfs', but it placed the link in the project directory as a sibling to source. It looks like:

                   <project directory>
                    |             |
                   src          bfs

I have tried going into the workspace and creating a link from the <workproject>/src/bfs ---> myfile_system/bfs, but that sysbolic link on the file system does not show up in Eclipse. I used to do that in the Eclipse Juno, but Oxygen does not seem to recognize that link.

I'm wondering if there is a way to create that symbolic link in Eclipse Oxygen?
