Strange eclipse problem

[Russ Abbott]

I'm trying to run the MVP Contacts example. (But the same problem occurred in a completely different context.) 

I created a Contacts project. But I declared the package as com.google.gwt.samples.contacts.

I then copied the src and war files onto that project. (Other ways of creating the project and then using the Tutorial-Contacts.zip file didn't work.) When I ran it I got this error message in the Console window.

Loading modules

   com.google.gwt.samples.contacts.Contacts

      [ERROR] Unable to find 'com/google/gwt/samples/contacts/Contacts.gwt.xml' on your classpath; could be a typo, or maybe you forgot to include a classpath entry for source?

[ERROR] shell failed in doStartup method

My mistake was that I wrote samples instead of sample in the package name. 

So I deleted the project and the code and tried again.  Even though I typed the name correctly this time, eclipse still tried to load the wrong file. I even restarted eclipse--and still the same thing happened. Somehow eclipse seems to have become obsessed with my original wrong spelling of samples. How can I get it to forget that?

(As I said, the same thing happened when I did something similar in a different project.)

Thanks.

Try deleting your run target and have the GPE rebuild them for you.

Thanks. I guess I should have thought of that. It's the only thing that wasn't deleted.  (I assume you mean the run configuration.)

Download the MVP Contacts and extract into local drive.
In eclipse IDE, File-->Import-->Existing projects into your
workspace and select your contacts file from your directory. Then
follow the options like like finish, next...
