Answer 1

Looks like a bug in eclipse WTP - you're not alone.

Following this other thread, you be lucky with deleting (moving/renaming) one library:

javax.xml.soap_1.3.0.v200904281458.jar

Or try to upgrade your environment to the latest and greatest.

where is the library located? – Tracery

@Tracery - it depends. If you use eclipse it is in \eclipse\plugins\ folder. – Duarte

This problem happened to me with a fresh eclipse j2ee Version: 2023-09 (4.29.0). The links in this answer are not valid since spring moved forums. – Chrono

I was able to solve my problem with this answer #8151198 – Chrono

Answer 2

This second patch does the same thing, but instead of using a java system property, it uses a hidden eclipse preference as the flag to disable the copy.

This preference can be enabled by editing the below file

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.jst.ws.axis.consumption.ui.prefs

add the line disableAxisJarCopy=true

Answer 3

Browse tho the eclipse workspace:

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.jst.ws.axis.consumption.ui.prefs

Sometime, if you do not have this file created, then create this file Add the following entry and save the file:

eclipse.preferences.version=1
disableAxisJarCopy=true
