"Serializable cannot be resolved to a type"

I'm using Eclipse to create a simple project. I'm trying to implement Serializable in my Java class, but Eclipse is not recognizing it saying "Serializable cannot be resolved to a type" and offering me to create an inteface called Serializable.

public class Location implements Serializable {

Isn't Serializable supposed to be a built in interface? How do I get it to work?

you have just to right click on your project => buildpath => jre => and you specify the right jre and it will gives you the possibility of importing java.io.Serialisable;

You have to import java.io.Serializable.

If you click the "error icon" in Eclipse, at the left of the offending line, Eclipse can do it for you. Or just press Ctrl+Shift+O.

You need to import it from the java.io package:

import java.io.Serializable;

Yes, Serializable is an interface. Perhaps you've failed to configure your build path correctly?
