Problem with Java Buildpath in Eclipse

java eclipse buildpath

In eclipse I have an error related to my build path.

The error: 

Project 'XX' is missing required library: 'middlegen-2.1.jar'

But the library is deleted before the build path configuration.

Is there perhaps a problem with cache or so?

Has anyone an idea why eclipse say that the library is required even though the library was deleted before the build path configuration.

I guess you've deleted the library from a directory, but you've not updated the project Build Path. Right click on the project name, select "Properties", go to "Java Build Path", choose the "Libraries" tab, and see that your library is not in the list. If it's still in that list, remove it with the "Remove" button.
