Hello everybody,

i have the following problem:

I have written a java-Package with lays in the root directory of my eclipse
project. But Eclipse does not recognize it as a package and each time i want
to call a method from some of the classes in the package i get an
errormessage. I included the package properly. When i start the project in
forte (Sun One ... or something like this) it works.

Can anybody help me ?

Thanks

Thomas

In eclipse: Do the directories and .java-Files show up in the Navigator?
In the package explorer? With what Icons beside them? A filled or a
shaped "J" in a box? The latter would indicate, that eclipse recognizes
them as Java-Files but the project isn't set up in a way, that eclipse
is supposed to compile and use them. Maybe because the project isn't a
Java project, which is indicated by a little J in the project icon. Or
the build path isn't set correctly (see the properties of the project
and there Java Build Path->Source), since - depending e.g. on how you
created the project - sometimes the sources are expected within a folder
"src".

The project the classes are in show no compilation errors (a little X in
a red box in the package explorer) before you want to call a method
(which then is shown as anq error, right?)? You want to call the methods
from classes within the same project?

Yes, that is not surprising. Forte is another Java-IDE, just like
eclipse can be used as one. What do you expect, if it is correctly
configured?

Marko, or others,
(Q) Is there a way to take a project that starts out as a "normal" (non-java) project
and change it to a Java project?

(Q) When you are in a Java project, and say "Create package" com.acme.foo, and
also say Create Folder com/acme/bar. What happens differently underneath
the covers?
(A) My guess is that when you create a folder, the folder is added to the
"source exclude directories list". If you add a package this doesn't happen
and that is the only difference.

Thanks,
Patrick Steranka

I would just start a new project and copy the contents over from the
old. But it might (read: on your own risk) also work if you just edit
the File .project and change these lines

<buildSpec>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
</natures>

to these lines

<buildSpec>
<buildCommand>
<name>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javabuilder</name>
<arguments>
</arguments>
</buildCommand>
</buildSpec>
<natures>
<nature>org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature</nature>
</natures>

while eclipse is not running.
