I am getting this error in some projects in my workspace. I have tried using Luna and Juno version of eclipse but there are errors is still in there in both versions of eclipse

Content of .classpath file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classpath>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="folder1"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="folder2"/>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/WebSphere v6.1 JRE"/>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jst.server.core.container/com.ibm.ws.ast.st.runtime.runtimeTarget.v61/was.base.v61"/>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY/hibernate"/>
    <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.USER_LIBRARY/log4j"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="/ProjectB"/>
    <classpathentry kind="src" path="/ProjectC"/>
    <classpathentry combineaccessrules="false" kind="src" path="/ProjectD"/>
    <classpathentry exported="true" kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.internal.module.container"/>
    <classpathentry kind="output" path="folder2"/>
</classpath>

There are no build path errors in ProjectB, ProjectC, ProjectD

There is no proper solution You can change that issue from error to warning in project preferences.

Under Project Properties->Java Compiler->Building

Make Sure Enable Project Specific settings is checked, Under Build Path Problems, change Output location overlaps source location from Error to Warning/Ignore.

You can also find some related discussion on the issue over here

I did get a solution on this issue:

There is a specification of which particular folder cannot be output at the time of creating the project. I renamed that folder to .old closing eclipse and , also tried deleting it as it was a sample folder.

If its a folder which is not that important rename that folder after closing eclipse and retry. This would fix the problem.

For me the solution was to add this line

org.eclipse.jdt.core.classpath.outputOverlappingAnotherSource=ignore

to .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

You have to remove that the distinct source folder 'folder2' from the src path

GO to project build path

go to source tab select the folder2 src entry remove it
