Dependencies with Java, gradle, Intellij - java

I am working on a Java project for a friend's small company who had his only developer quit and is in a bad spot. I am a long term .Net developer, but I can understand the code pretty easily. There is one problem and that is related to library dependencies. There is a data access library that gets called by another "main" app. I made changes to the data access project and now I am trying to use that library in the main project. Problem is, the main program can't resolve the reference to the new version of the library.
If I go into Project Structures, look at libraries, I see the old version of the library jar is pointing to c:/users/me/.gradle/caches/modules/files/dataaccessstuff.jar. I also went into the main project, looked at the build.gradle file and changed the version of the data access to match the version that I created and I keep getting errors that the version I am referencing can not be found.
I don't see how to publish the data access jar to a location that the main project can reference.
I tried to just build the data access layer and then find the jar that was generated and then add that path to Project Structures. I was hoping that this would be the same as in .Net where you can directly reference a dll, but the main project still is not able to resolve that reference.

How to solve the IIB10 toolkit errors for IIB9 projects

I have imported the projects that I'm using in IIB9 without any errors, now I have installed the IIB10 toolkit and I have imported the same IIB9 projects in my IIB10 toolkit. But I found few errors which I'm unable to resolve those, only few projects are getting the error as: "unable to locate a class definition named com.src.helloworld.java in the project or reference project" but I have given the required references to the projects and when Im checking the java compute class I can go into that class code. Please suggest and help me out on this.
I also got this error after upgrading to IIB10.
The reason is exactly what #Alaychem described above - internal differences between "Normal" java projects and javaCompute nodes.
When a Java project is created by adding a JavaCompute node to a MsgFlow, a '.project' file is created with internal definitions of IIB. However, when a Java project is created by making 'new -> Java project' (="normal Java") - also a '.project' file is created, but this time with some less definitions in it.
Therefore, if you created A "normal" Java project, and afterwards connected it to a MsgFlow, after upgrading to IIB10 it might not be recognized anymore, because of these missing definitions in the '.project' file.
A quick way to solve the error in IIB10 without re-defining a JavaCompute node, is to add the missing definitions to the '.project' file of your Java project with the errors.
How? -> Open another Java project that you have, and compare the differences between it's '.project' file, to the '.project' file of the Java project with the errors. Just copy the missing definitions. Afterwards - refresh the Java project (F5) and rebuild the project.
Some pictures to make it clear:
First image - '.project' file of a Java project created by JavaComputeNode. In yellow are the missing definitions. Just copy them.
Second image - '.project' file of a Java project created by a "normal" Java project. Copy to it the lacked 'yellow' definitions from previous picture.
I got this error when mixing JavaCompute classes and "normal" classes.
From My answer at mqseries
"Normal" java projects and javaCompute projects are not the same, for some reason. The src/output libs in. classpath file are not the same, and probably some other differences, that cause the toolkit to treat them differently.
My project was normal java project, that a java compute class added into it later. The v8 toolkit manage with it, but v10 does not.
Moving the javaCompute class to a new javaCompue project (through double clicking new javaCompute Node) did the trick
P.S Adding the normal java files into javaCompue project seems like a bad strategy. It caused some import issues at IBM classes.

How to run Scuba project from Eclipse

I try to use Scuba project.I downloaded source with SVN checkout and imported it into Eclipse .Also i imported scuba_smartcards project. Everything is perfect but i have one problem.When i try to run scuba project like java application,have this error message:
Selection does not contains main type
I don't know is a correct to run this source like java application or not.By the way i created my own java class and i want to use scuba's source in main method
Ho i can solve my problem?
thanks everyone
P.s i also found source in github
https://github.com/credentials/scuba
I'm using scuba_sc_j2se
SCUBA is a framework, basically it is a library with active components. Libraries are not standalone applications so they will not contain a main method of their own. You cannot just run it, you need to write or copy an application that uses the framework through the API presented by SCUBA.
One of these applications is the jMRTD application from which SCUBA originated.

NoClassDefFoundError when referencing from an Android-Project to a standard Java-Project

I am currently working on an android application that needs to use some shared classes which are also used on some serverside.
So on the one hand I have this standard java project inside eclipse where I have some POJOs, infercaes and so on. And on the other hand I have an android application project with an activity that should use those POJOs.
My first try to get the android project to know the java project was simply adding it as a "required project" in the build-path properties inside eclipse. That resulted into:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: my.package.Pojo
I googled it and tried a lot, but still the question stands:
How do I set everything up properly, so that my ADT v21.1 android project will still know my java project, even at runtime?
Some things I already tried that did not seem to change anything:
after adding the "required project" I also set the dependency to be exported under eclipse "Order and Export" dialog
I tried building the java project as a jar-file and adding it as a jar-dependency to the android project
I created a android library project as 'glue': I added the java project as a dependency to the library project and the library project as a 'android dependency' to the android project
I checked that all projects where inside the filesystem in the same parent folder (read, that the underlying ant task might have some troubles otherwise)
I googled for a loooong time
Would really be nice if someone could help. Maybe I'm just missing some tiny little thind?
Bluddy
The Problem is that I build the java project using Java 7 which seems to by not supported by android. 'Phix' pointed that out in his very helpful posting (he was also andwering himself):

Beginner Java Developer Netbeans/Eclipse IDE Questions

Im working on building a java application in windows vista using the Emotiv Epoc Neuroheadset, http://emotiv.com/index.php.
I'm new to java and having a really tough time getting started. I have some examples that came with the headset I'm trying to run in either eclipse or netbeans (at this point I really don't have a preference, suggestions?)
The user manual gives these directions:
*2. Package content: Jna.rar, Edk.java, EmoState.java, EDkErrorCode.java
Example 1: EEGLog
Example 2: EmoStateLog
Developer‘s guide: Step 1: Add the JNA library to your project. Step 2: Add Edk.java, EmoState.java, EdkErrorCode.java to your project. The classes in these files contain methods calling the APIs from Edk.dll using JNA library. You can find more information about the conversion between data types on the JNA's homepage.*
This is all Chinese to me! Can someone explain to me exactly how to do these steps (in a way a small child who have never used eclipse or netbeans before can understand!) Somebody from the Emotiv Epoc forum gave me these directions as well:
*To see how to Java wrapper examples work you should install Eclipse and open, compile them. You put edk_utils.dll and edk.dll into System32 or the same root directory of each example as EmoStateLog, CognitivExample,... before running them.*
My problem is I dont know enough about the IDEs to run these examples. Am I supposed to make a new project then add these files? Or do I open one of the examples, then add the .dll files and the JNA library? How do you add libraries to a project? Where do I put the .dll files?
Thanks in advance!
I know this is fairly simple stuff but its always the simple stuff thats hardest to figure out it seems!

Based purely off of what you're saying here...
Developer‘s guide: Step 1: Add the JNA library to your project. Step 2: Add Edk.java, EmoState.java, EdkErrorCode.java to your project. The classes in these files contain methods calling the APIs from Edk.dll using JNA library. You can find more information about the conversion between data types on the JNA's homepage.*
Create a new project in Eclipse.
Add Edk.java, Emostate.java, EdkErrorCode.java into the src folder
Add the JNA library into the libs folder. (Make sure the library is in the project path, otherwise Eclipse won't detect it.)
Whether or not it will compile depends on if those are the only supporting files.

Approach for fixing NoClassDefFoundError? [duplicate]

NoClassDefFoundError - Eclipse and Android
I'm seeing this question is getting asked a lot in many different contexts. Perhaps we can set some strategies for locating and fixing it? I'm noobish myself so all I can contribute are horror stories and questions, sorry...
It seems this is thrown when a class is visible at compile time but not at run time... how can this happen?
In my case I am developing an app that uses the Google APIs, in Eclipse, for the Android platform. I've configured the Project Properties / Java Build Path / Libraries to include the gdata .jars and all is well. When I execute in the emulator I get a force close and the logcat shows a NoClassDefFoundError on a simple new ContactsService("myApp"); I've also tried a new CalendarService("myApp") with the same results.
Is it possible or desirable to statically bind at compile time to avoid the problem?
How could dynamic binding of an add-on library work in the mobile environment anyway? Either it has to be bound into my .apk or else I need to "install" it? ... hmmm.
Advice much appreciated.

The build classpath may include JARs that are not being packaged into the APK.

It is possible, desirable, and necessary.
Outside of Eclipse, you just put the JARs you need in libs/ in your project, compile with Ant, and you are done.
Inside of Eclipse, one pattern I have had students use with success is to put the JARs you need in libs/ in your project, add them as JARs to the build path (note: not external JARs), and they get packaged as part of the APK. Note, though, that I do not personally use Eclipse, and so my experience with it is limited.
For those having problem I was having the same error with my app. what I did to solve that was create a new project and copy my resource and source folders along with my manifest file into the new project (I deleted in advance those within the new project created) and voila.
When I got this, the problem was actually deeper in the queue; Dalvik converter had failed to convert some of the referenced libraries and still Eclipse allowed me to launch the project.
Check the Android SDK console to see if there are any errors reported.
In my case, I'm using my own library (MyLib) shared between 2 apps. App A was closed when I added a new class to the library.
When I opened App A to work on it, Eclipse recognised the new class, and I was able to reference it. However on running I got the error.
It turned out that the imported library folder in App A (named something like MyLib_src) didn't reflect the changes made to my library project (MyLib).
To solve this I refreshed App A, the changes reflected, and Android could build my project correctly.
I have found no reference to this version of the problem, so thought I would add it to this list.
