Eclipse (actually RAD) throwing WAR validation error (CHKJ3000E) on project

java eclipse war rad

I have a project that I have just imported from CVS. It is working in several dozen other developers IDE, but in my case, it is reporting a problem:

CHKJ3000E: WAR Validation Failed: com.ibm.etools.j2ee.commonarchivecore.exception.DeploymentDescriptorLoadException: WEB-INF/web.xml

Googling for this suggests its an issue with the way Eclipse loads the context. For some users, cleaning the project works. It didn't for me.

Any ideas on what I could attempt next to resolve it?

Eclipse > Project Explorer > Right click on the project with the error > Validate

enter image description here

That worked for me!

I had the same error message for a few projects and did the same procedure for each of them and now all of them are fixed.
