Hi, all:

Sorry to ask such a newbie question.

I'm trying to compile "java-ml" using Eclipse 3.5.2 IDE.

http://java-ml.sourceforge.net/

It's strange that I'm not able to compile(ant build) this package from within Eclipse IDE, and always obtained the following error message

Quote:

cannot find symbol [javac] symbol : class svm_parameter

....

For this project, Eclipse IDE doesn't show any red cross, which means this project should be able to be successfully compiled.
But, whenever I'm trying to "ant build" from within Eclipse IDE, I obtained the above error message, which seems to tell ant build can't find some package.

So, "ant build" seems to build project using file "build.xml".
And the packages that the error message indicates are mostly stored in

Quote:

/usr/share/java

What can I do?
Do I just need to add

Quote:

/usr/share/java

to my environment's path?

Best Regards
JIA
