Hi,I am a student currently studying in information technology. I'm not a very good programmer since i just started basic java 6 months ago. During my project this senester, i come across that my project explorer folder had a red exclamation mark. Could anyone tell me what does the exclamation mark means and how to i get rid of the red exclamation mark. I'm using eclipse with visual editor.

The red ! indicates some type of problem. It isn't possible from the
information you have provided to give a more detailed answer. Take a
look at the Problems view. It should give the details of the problem
that results in the ! being displayed.
