Error: Must declare a named package because this compilation unit is associated to the named module '*******'

Question

I was trying to open a program I made before but for some reason the following error always appeared: Must declare a named package because this compilation unit is associated to the named module '********'

I understand the message as "you must use a non-default package for your classes". Create a package, move classes to it, and declare a package in the file — ernest_k, Aug 11 '18 at 20:26

An easy solution to this problem is to delete the module-info.java file present on your Project Explorer tab. Eclipse created this by default, and also, removing this will not affect any functionality of your program. So, go for it...

I created a new package, and moved the error classes from the default package to new one, then the error disappeared !
