Try refreshing the project, clean and rebuild.
Right click on the error, click "Quick Fix" if this is enabled.
Right click on the error, click "Properties" for the details. Try to delete the resource in question from outside eclipse, refresh, clean and build.

Exit Eclipse.
Delete all the java class files (These files located in /bin or like that).

I had to go to ST_SAMI\web\WEB-INF\classes and delete EVERYTHING under the directory in question. Refreshed and cleaned project and all was well again.

Project right click --> Build Path --> Configure Build Path and you have seen Project source paths.And attention please,

If you have more than one source, you should probably encountered this problem. You should examine each source.

Source click --> edit --> next --> and you seen exclusion patterns and inclusion patterns.

For example, your directory path

source
  |
  \------ExDir
  |
  \------IncDir

You must select for inclusion only IncDir and select for Exclusion only ExcDir

If you select for exclusion source Directory you encounter this problem.

I placed the filter at Resource Filers sections which I removed and it started building properly. Path - Right Click on project, Go into Properties, Select Resource Filters and remove any filter which is associated with bin folder.
