Eclipse says I have a compilation error when I don't - How to fix?

Question

I'm writing a java project and suddenly, out of nowhere eclipse is reporting that I have a problem with my code. It's specific to one file, but others are failing as well as they use a couple functions from the class in question, which they can't seem to find, the functions that is. I've tried almost everything I can think of to make this error go away.

• Refreshing project
• Clean project
• Remove project and re-import
• Removing file, make a new, paste content
• Removed errors and cleaned project

To be specific the first error is:

Syntax error, insert "}" to complete ClassBody

Just to illustrate, here's the code:

EDIT

Is it just me or does anyone else get this error?

Any suggestions on how to fix it are welcome!

Answer 1

Okay. I finally managed to fix the error.

As mentioned in the comments in the top post I could get it to compile if I cleared the constructor. Once I got it to compile I slowly copy pasted the code line by line into my project. I left out the ActionListeners and it compiled just fine. After this I slowly imported the ActionListener methods one by one and I found a line that resulted in the error. It was the line:

App.getSharedResources().changeRow(index, newRow); //line 106

This method was not yet implemented and it gave me that as an error after the above explained process. I could create the method and the rest of my code compiles as intended now. This was a really weird error.

Answer 2

I have also faced similar issue sometime in past, could you please try to delete the error from 'Problems' view and perform a clean project afterwards, and see if it disappears.

If it does not help try: looking into the .log file created by eclipse in your workspace directory. That may hold a clue how to fix this.
