[FIXED] Eclipse - JAR creation failed "Class files on classpath not found or not accessible for..."

Issue

I have a project in Eclipse that has a red cross on it and will not export to a runnable JAR. I can't remember if I have looked at it since I reinstalled Windows on my laptop, but I know that I haven't changed any code. There are no errors in any of the classes, however the error I get points to the following class that deals with the menu items on Mac OSx:

import java.lang.reflect.*;

public class osxhandler implements InvocationHandler {

    protected Object targetObject;
    protected Method targetMethod;
    protected String proxySignature;

    static Object macOSXApplication;

    // Pass this method an Object and Method equipped to perform application shutdown logic
    // The method passed should return a boolean stating whether or not the quit should occur
    public static void setQuitHandler(Object target, Method quitHandler) {
        setHandler(new HOsx("handleQuit", target, quitHandler));
    }


    public static void setAboutHandler(Object target, Method aboutHandler) {
        boolean enableAboutMenu = (target != null && aboutHandler != null);

        }
        // If we're setting a handler, enable the About menu item by calling
        // com.apple.eawt.Application reflectively
        try {
            Method enableAboutMethod = macOSXApplication.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("setEnabledAboutMenu", new Class[] { boolean.class });
            enableAboutMethod.invoke(macOSXApplication, new Object[] { Boolean.valueOf(enableAboutMenu) });
        } catch (Exception ex) {

Any ideas as to why I can't export/compile? I've never had this issue before.

Solution

Just do a clean and/or rebuild on the project.

You can find it under the Project menu of Eclipse.
