Hi group,
I have a java sourcefile that uses (imports) a couple of class files. I've
created a new project in Eclipse and imported the sourcefile and copied
the class files, but the import statement that refers to the class library
generates an error: 'the import xxx cannot be resolved.'
I can't get this to work. I tried to add a classpath variable, it did not
work. The class files are there, in the subfolder, why would there be a
problem?
I compiled and ran the java file from the command line and in the Netbeans
IDE, and everything worked fine. I guess I am overlooking something very
simple.
I really would appreciate an answer... I am getting somewhat frustrates :(
TIA, Mark.

Hi Adam,
Thanks, I did that, but now my project could not be built because the
build path is incomplete?
I deleted the project, created a new one and imported all the files. I
didn't add a class folder to the build path. Now... I don't get the
original problem again ('import xxx cannot be resolved'), now it's 'the
import xxx is never used'. And a declaration of an instance of a class in
the class folder gives 'myclass can not be resolved (or is not a valid
type) for the field myvar'
Then if I add a class folder and enable the nesting, again I get an error
'The import xxx cannot be resolved'
Mark.

Ok, I did this. Now the source file and the class files show up in the
package explorer. Yes, the classfiles are precompiled, they are not my
own. They are from the anfy3dAPI, a 3d graphics library.
Now my project can't be built: 'The project was not built since its build
path is incomplete. Cannot find the class file for a3dAPI.anfy3dAPI...' I
put the class files in a class folder named 'a3dAPI', the same folder name
as in the zip file they came in. I also tried a class folder named 'xxx',
same result. I don't know if this is an error in the build path or has
something to do with the class files?
Anyway, since I am not sure what I'm doing maybe I'd better go back to the
Netbeans IDE...
Thanks for you help!
greetings, Mark.

I experimented a bit with zipfiles and jar files but no success... I just
don't know enough about this to continue. I'm fed up with build paths an
project files now so i'll try something else :(
Thanks,
Mark.
