You just need to tell eclipse where the jars are (in effect adding them to your classpath).
In eclipse, right click on your project in the tree and select properties
From the resulting winow select the libraries tab. Press the Add JARs...button and select the jars to add to your project.
Hi folks, beginning Java programmer here. I am learning from the ground up, so please bear with.
How does one install the .jar files of Batik properly into the Java source tree? I see some references of other external .jar files being put into /lib/ext inside the source directory. Is this were I drop the files?
The end goal is to allow Eclipse to see the import targets below. Right now it is complaining that it cannot find them. What I will need to do (months/year from now, when I decide to package up my project and distribute it) is distribute the required .jar files for Batik with the program (correct?), so is it more beneficial to me right now to just drop them somehow into my own code's source tree?
Import statements that is causing Eclipse to complain: (These are taken from one of the Batik examples. I am having to learn how it all works before I can make it jump through my own hoops.)
import org.apache.batik.swing.JSVGCanvas; import org.apache.batik.swing.gvt.GVTTreeRendererAdapter; import org.apache.batik.swing.gvt.GVTTreeRendererEvent; import org.apache.batik.swing.svg.SVGDocumentLoaderAdapter; import org.apache.batik.swing.svg.SVGDocumentLoaderEvent; import org.apache.batik.swing.svg.GVTTreeBuilderAdapter; import org.apache.batik.swing.svg.GVTTreeBuilderEvent;
Thanks, Bob! I knew that I had to add them in, just wasn't sure the best way to do so. In Netbeans, you could point/mount other directories, and I recall unzipping all the src files, compiling everything, and just mounting the source tree there. I realize now that this was overkill.
Now, the next step (after checking that everything works as planned) is figuring out which .jars I -need- and which I can safely not load for now. I am presuming that I will use the above import statements, track down the .jar that contains those objects, and remove the rest.
Thanks for the help. Off and running.
