IWAB0503E Unable to update Java build path. Please check your system environment. java.io.FileNotFoundException: /lib/axis.jar

Question

I got this error when trying to create a web service client in Eclipse. Already tried adding axis.jar into the build path but it won't fix. Does anyone know what happened or where /lib/axis.jar refers to? My Eclipse version is 2023-12 and the workspace uses Java 1.8. Appreciate your help.

Answer 1

I got the same error , when i try to create a WebServiceClient project , couldn't find a solution until now ,but as i can see the problem happens only with the new Eclipse version, so using an old version of eclipse will do the job for now
