[FIXED] Unbound classpath container in Eclipse

Issue

I have checked out a project using Subversive for Eclipse and I am getting the following errors:

• The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved
• Unbound classpath container: 'JRE System Library[jdk1.5.0_08]'

I'm assuming the first error will be resolved as soon as the second one is. I think I need to install JDK 1.5.0_08 and set it as a jre system library for the project but I can't find anywhere to download it - the closest I can get is JDK 1.5.0_22.

If anyone could provide an alternative solution (or a download link for jdk1.5.0_08 I suppose) I would appreciate it.

Solution

Given the FAQ, sharing a project file seems have to have advantages and is even recommended practice for Java projects (personally, I would not do that).

Maybe some of the following work for you:

1. Edit the project's properties (right-click project, Properties, Java Build Path, Libraries, Remove and Add Library.
2. Import the project's files without the "project file"
3. Install JDK1.5 from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp and see whether you can fix paths
