Project Cannot see exported Jar [message #1838671] Wed, 03 March 2021 12:03 Go to next message

I created a very simple Java project with a single class that has a single method to add 2 numbers together.
I export the project as a Jar file.
I add the Jar file to a new project using Build Path-> Add External Archives
I can see the class and method in the Jar file.
I exported both class files and Java files.
However an error occurs when I reference them in the code.
I have attached a screenshot. ClassLib is the original project I exported the Jar from. ClassLIb2 is where I am trying to use it.
Any ideas why this is happening.

No - it's not defined as static. I have included a screenshot.

Hi,

It seems your problem has nothing to do with eclipse.

You need to call your method as Instance method.

Example:


package examples;

public class MySimpleClass {

	public static int add_UsingStaticMethod(final int a, final int b) {
		return a + b;
	}

	public int add_UsingInstanceMethod(final int a, final int b) {
		return a + b;
	}

}



package examples;

public class Main {

	public static void main(final String[] args) {
		new Main();
	}

	/**
	 * Using MySimpleClass
	 */
	public Main() {

		System.out.format("add_UsingStaticMethod %d \n", MySimpleClass.add_UsingStaticMethod(10, 20));

		// Note the use of "new"
		System.out.format("add_UsingInstanceMethod %d \n", new MySimpleClass().add_UsingInstanceMethod(11, 21));

	}

}



Advice: get The Java Tutorials Bundle and start from the beginning

Thank you for your reply. So in all scenarios where I am exporting Jar files, do I need to call my method as an instance method?

Hi,

You can have both Static and Instance methods in the same exported jar.

It depends on the requirement and design of the application.

Do you want to Zoom ? Send your email or mobile phone number.

Regards.
Eitan.
