+If it doesn’t compile
+=====================
+
+The likely reason is that the build path of the imported projects isn’t correct. This can happen for instance
+when the [version.properties](https://github.com/scala/scala/blob/master/versions.properties) file is updated,
+and Eclipse .classpath of the different projects isn’t updated accordingly. The fix is simple, manually inspect
+the build path of each project and make sure the version of the declared dependencies is in sync with the version
+declared in the `version.properties` file. If it isn’t, update it manually and, when done, don’t forget to share
+your changes via a pull request.
+(We are aware this is manual process is cumbersome. If you feel like scripting this process, pull requests are of course welcome.)
