Eclipse javadoc: The type package-info is already defined
eclipse, javadoc, m2eclipse
Solution
There are a few options to solve this:
- Move away from package-info.java files, and replace them with package.html files.
- Only have package-info.java files in the src/ tree, as the same-named packages in the test/ tree will "overlap" the src/ tree.
- Generate javadoc separately for the src/ and test/ trees, as they are probably for different audiences.
Problem
OS: Windows 7 x64 Eclipse Platform: 3.7.2.M20120208 m2e: 1.0.200.20111228-1245 Have similar problem as in this bug. There is a bunch of `package-info.java` files in `/src` and `/test` folders, so they have same package. Eclipse show error: ``` "The type **package-info** is already defined" ``` I can delete `package-info.java` files either in `/test` or `/src` to avoid problem indication. But this workaround is not very comfort since I am using SCM and need to delete this files all time after update. Same for Eclipse Platform 4.2.0.I20120608-1400
