WTP metadata migration error in eclipse

July 27th, 2007
Since I changed the location of a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse, I started getting an error message in problems which says that "This project needs to migrate WTP metadata." I right-clicked the row and chose Quick Fix, but the error remained in the problems section. I checked some forums on the web and I saw that other people are facing exactly the same case.

I tried to Refresh the project, or Close it and Open again, but none of these worked. The solution was to Validate the project. After that the error was removed from the problems list. If you have a similar case, maybe you should try it and see if that works for you too.
