While compiling an android project in eclipse 3.4.2, I am getting The project cannot be built until the build path errors are resolved.

I got a temporary solution from the blog http://www.scottdstrader.com/blog/ether_archives/000921.html

The resolution was to force a resave of the selected projects (and their .classpath files):

  1. Open the project properties
  2. Select Java Build Path > Libraries
  3. Add a new, arbitrary library (to be deleted later) > OK
  4. Wait for the workspace to refresh (or force a refresh of the project)
  5. The error(s) will go away
  6. Remove the dummy library

The only other references I could find were to make minor alterations of contents of the .classpath file.

Is there any permanent fix for this issue?

Have you tried using Project > Clean... from the menu? This will force a new build on the selected projects in Eclipse.
