Show us the contents of the `.classpath` and `.project` files - it looks like there is something substantially wrong in them. — greg-449, Nov 19 '19 at 08:18
@greg-449 i have added the .project and .classpath, is there any hint as to why the error is shown? — Thanpuia, Nov 19 '19 at 09:02

The message is saying that the .project file isn't a valid library. It's not a jar file or a directory containing a folder structure of class files. Remove that entry from your project's Java Build Path.
