[FIXED] inheritance in java is not detecting extended class from other package, of same name

Issue

I am using Eclipse.

2 folders: src/test and src/main

Both have a package with same name: Academy.

The Academy package in src/test has in it a class name: Base.java

The Academy package in src/main has in it a class name: HomePage.java

In the HomePage.java class, extends Base is not detecting base class in it. This is the code inside HomePage.java

---

package Academy;

import Academy.Base;

public class HomePage extends Base{
}

---

There is a red line on Academy.Base and on Base. It tells to make Base class, but it is already there. I tried to save the file. I tried to make new project too. Please Help. Thank you.

Solution

Solved the above error by following these steps:

Right click on project->Build path->Configure build path->source tab

then search tab search under your project src/main/java

and change "contains test sources" from No to Yes and apply the changes
