I tried the Remove WebProject Configuration option, it appeared to run successfully, and it issued no errors messages. After it ran, I still find MyEclipse errors messages about “not in base path” in my task list. How do I remove MyEclipse from my project?

Deconfiguring a Web Project does the following:

1) removes the Web Project nature from the .project file
2) removes .mymetadata
3) removes .myeclipse/ folder

If you have error markers on your project try “Rebuild Project”.

My .project no longer has the Web Project nature.

The .mymetadata file and the .myeclipse folder has been deleted from my project.

I restarted Eclipse and then did a Rebuild All.

I still have a large number of MyEclipse errors in my task list.

What can I do to remove MyEclipse from my project?

[Dave Johnson]

OK, I figured it out. I had to choose the “Filters” menu item in the tasks view and uncheck the JSP Syntax and other MyEclipse checkboxes in the “Show Items of Type” tree.

I’m thinking this is a bug where the deconfiguration process did not remove all MyEclipse project markers. Since these markers are managed by MyEclipse web tools the markers are stranded since the web project nature has been removed. I have entered this case into our issues tracking system for attention.

Try this for a short term workaround:
1) delete your project from MyEclipse (don’t remove it its contents from the workspace)
2) then reimport it. This will scrub all markers from the project.
