So you recently started with the Play Framework and ran a project but you encountered this error message:

Compilation error
The file {module:secure}/app/controllers/Check.java could not be compiled. Error raised is : The type Check is already defined

1 2	Compilation error The file {module:secure}/app/controllers/Check.java could not be compiled. Error raised is : The type Check is already defined

import java.lang.annotation.Target;
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})
public @interface Check {
    String[] value();
}
This exception has been logged with id 6f24fo6ff

import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)

@Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.TYPE})

public @interface Check {

String[] value();

}

This exception has been logged with id 6f24fo6ff

I am not sure how this is important since I am still new to the Play Framework but since my purpose was just to run a web application project, I was able to bypass this problem by removing or commenting this line

module.secure=${play.path}/modules/secure

in the applicaiton.conf in the conf folder of the project.
