Hi all,
I have the need to import a package that is already used in another Java project in my current project Scout.
I use the same import command, like this:

import org.generic.shared.instrumentdata;

this import in the standard Java program works fine, however im my Scout project doesn't work and the code is highlighted in red and show this message "The import xxx cannot be resolved".
I think I've forgotten something or have made some error, but I can not figure out where. Someone can help me to understand?

Thank you in advance for your help

I assume this is inside the MANIFEST.mf.
Could you provide the dependency hierarchy of the involved bundles?

A import dependency can fail due to many reasons. Often it is a mismatch of the jre used by the individual bundles or an os filter constraint or a fragment limitation.

If your MANIFEST.MF files aren't set up correctly yet:
Scout uses OSGi for modularization (plus Eclipse/Equinox extension points and extensions). In the OSGi bundle where your package resides you have to add it to the MANIFEST.MF "Export-Package" section. In the OSGi bundle where you want to use it, you add your bundle to the "Require-Bundle" section of the MANIFEST.MF or just the package to the "Import-Package" section(the latter only if you don't care from which bundle the package is provided).

For an introduction you can have a look at the information provided by the OSGi Alliance: http://www.osgi.org/Technology/HowOSGi

As Ivan writes, this could fail for different reasons.

When you are in the eclipse java editor, what are the suggested Quick Fixes (you can display them with "CTRL 1" shortcut near the import statement).

I assume you will have something like:
