I'm encountering an issue with importing WebDriver in Eclipse while working on a Selenium WebDriver project. Despite correctly configuring my project and adding the necessary Selenium WebDriver JAR files to the build path, I'm unable to resolve the import statement for WebDriver.
Error message: The type org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver is not accessible
Body with code:
package SeleniumWebDriverDemo;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
public class SearchTraining {
WebDriver driver;
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
Eclipse version: 2023-12 (4.30.0), Build id: 20231201-2043.
Selenium WebDriver version: 4.20.0
Java version: 22.0.1" 2024-04-16

Hi Umer,
I ran into a similar issue recently, and it turned out to be related to how the JAR files were added to the build path. Here's a step-by-step guide that helped me resolve the issue:
1. Verify JAR Files: Ensure that the Selenium WebDriver JAR files are indeed in the `lib` folder (or whichever folder you are using) within your project directory. Sometimes, having the JAR files in the correct folder but not adding them to the build path can cause this issue.
2. Add JARs to Build Path:
- Right-click on your project in Eclipse and select Build Path > Configure Build Path.
- Go to the Libraries tab and click Add JARs (if they are within your project directory) or Add External JARs (if they are outside your project directory).
- Navigate to the folder containing your Selenium WebDriver JAR files and select them. Click Apply and Close.
3. Check Project Structure:
- Make sure there are no errors in the Project Explorer view. Sometimes, Eclipse doesn't show all issues unless the project is fully refreshed.
- Go to Project > Clean and then rebuild your project. This can often resolve issues where Eclipse is not recognizing the added libraries.
4. Java Build Path Configuration:
- Ensure that there are no conflicting versions of Selenium WebDriver JARs. Check that only the required version (4.20.0 in your case) is included.
- Sometimes adding the same JAR multiple times can cause conflicts. Verify that the JARs are only added once.
5. Module Path Issues:
- Given that you're using Java 22, check if there is a `module-info.java` file in your project. If you're not using Java modules, you might need to remove or adjust the `module-info.java` file to ensure it doesn't restrict access to the JAR files.
6. Update Eclipse:
- Make sure your Eclipse IDE is fully updated. Sometimes, updating the IDE can resolve underlying issues with handling libraries and dependencies.
If none of these steps work, consider creating a fresh project and re-importing your Selenium WebDriver libraries. This can help to reset any configuration issues that might be causing the problem.
Hope this helps, and good luck with your Selenium project!
