I just installed the latest MyEclipse 6.0.1. I got my Java project configured and made some modifications under Window>Preferences.

I’m not sure what I misconfigured but now when I do:
Source>Generate Element Comment
Source>Add Import
Source>….etc
(anything under the source menu)

I get the following error: “The resource is not on the build path of a Java project”

The only actions I am able to do successfully are
Source>Toggle Comment
Source>Add Block Comment
Source>Remove Block Comment

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Can you switch to a new workspace , create a new project and try these options again. Do they work ?

Creating a new project allows the Source menu’s actions to be used again. Any thoughts on how I can fix the old project?

Switch back to the old workspace and use the -clean command line argument to clean it

Actually, a correction to my last message.

1. When I do not change workspaces and create a sample Java project in the same workspace that has the problem, I am able to execute the actions in the Source menu.

2. When I change workspaces and re-import a fresh copy of the code, recreate my project settings, etc, I am UNABLE to execute the actions in the Source menu.

3. When I change workspaces and create a sample Java project, I am able to execute the actions in the Source menu.

I did eclipse.exe -clean and I still get the same results for the three above tests.

Figured it out! Thank you for being so quick to respond!

The problem was that I configured my source files incorrectly. I had included them all and then excluded certain package names. Once I corrected this in my build path, everything worked like a charm.

Glad you got it to work. Thanks for letting me know.
