declared package does not match the expected package [message #559113]

I have just started setting up Eclipse 3.51 with java source code.

I have created a source directory, 'bfs', under which all my source code exists in subdirectories. When build the bfs project I get hundreds of errors related to source files declaring the package and imports. The source code compiles cleanly when I compile outside of Eclipse using javac.

For example, I have a file located at:

bfs/util/genbase/thread/GenbaseThread.java

with a package declaration:

package bfs.util.genbase.thread;

What can I do in Eclipse to get a clean compile?

Thank you in advance

Create a source folder for example src and move bfs under that source folder.

The bfs directory is already a subdirectory of src.

Originally, when creating the 'bfs' project, I set the source directory for the project as the bfs directory. After you suggestion, I deleted the bfs project and recreated it with a source directory of 'src' which has bfs as a subdirectory. I received the same error messages.

You need to check the Java build path: it has to have 'src' as source
folder. Also, make sure that either auto-build is enabled or you rebuild
the project.
