| [eclipse-dev] newbie-type question: classpath/library |
This is probably not the proper context for this question, but I believe my company
firewall prohibits other means.
Problem Definition: The eclipse platform is not able to find the library org.eclipse.swt, it can however find the library java.math
The example application follows:
import org.eclipse.swt.*; //this stmt not recognized
import java.math.*;
public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello World2");
}
}
I was able to have Borland JBuilder6 recognize the swt library.
I assumed that the eclipse project would have put in place paths to
the swt library. I subsequently set the classpath to include
c:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.swt.win32_2.0.0\ws\win32\swt.jar
this did not resolve the problem. JBuilder6 was able to confirm that this jar
does contain the library in question.
Previously, I had tried to add the swt as a pluggin after frustration set in.
The effort was performed on a 1.7GHz Intel processor running Windows NT4.00.1381 sp6,
using the java 2 IBM Standard Edition Classic VM (build 1.3.0) as the JDK.
Both the IBM JDK and eclipse project files were downloaded 2002 July 08.
Thanks for your patience.
