I have the following line of code in a .groovy file for testing:
GenerateShipConfirmsForBatch gscb = new GenerateShipConfirmsForBatch();
Ctrl-clicking on the GenerateShipConfirmsForBatch takes me to GenerateShipConfirmsForBatch.class in a .jar, and not the .java file, even though I have the class correctly imported at the top. I want it to reference the .java file so it will pick up changes I make to the .java file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
First guess - Wrong import
What you wrote seems to me like you have class with the same name in 2 different packages or in imported project instead of in open-able java class. When you import class be careful that you import the one you want to use.
Eg. annotation class Service is wildly used in different packages.
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import com.google.web.bindery.requestfactory.shared.Service;
Just check that you are using the correct import.
Second guess - Incorrectly set modules
If you are having the multi-module application you have to set correctly the parent project to properly address this issue as well as child projects where the links should be as well.
In Maven it is done using pom.xml. It is very nicely addressed in Maven - Guide to Working with Multiple Modules.
In Gradle it is done using build.gradle. You can read more about it Gradle Multi-Module Project Setup.
Basics about classes
Local class
Idea is linking local .java files in preference instead of .class therefore if this is happening I'd recommend reinstalling Idea as I cannot find the correct approach.
Linked class (from external library)
If you have imported external library it WILL link to .class as it is decompiled from .jar file.
What you can do is either download .jar with source codes, if you are using Maven Projects click on Download Sources and/or Documentation.
Just because you have the class imported at the top does not mean that you can view the source code (e.g., .java file). If this class is coming from a dependency defined in your pom.xml or build.gradle file then you likely won't have access to view the source code. However, if this is a separate module you have at the top level of your project, then you'll be able to view the .java file. If this library is open source then I'd suggest cloning it in your project and adding it as a module. That will solve your problem.
You can install Java Decompiler IntelliJ Plugin from here: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7100-java-decompiler-intellij-plugin
It allows you to display all the Java sources during your debugging process, even if you do not have them all

I'm working on an android game that requires a server. We've set up a git in which there are three folders: Client, Server and Shared:
Client contains the Android-Studio project.
Server contains an Eclipse project which is our server and database.
Shared contains java classes that I would like to use in both the Eclipse and Android-Studio project.
In Eclipse I successfully loaded the files from Shared by importing them as "file system". (It created a package and everything works great)
In Android-Studio, I can't find a solution that doesn't require me to copy-paste the classes in the project. The aim here is to have those file at only one location as they're susceptible to change but must me identical in both the projects... So those solutions don't fit my needs.
I'm looking for something like a way to link files from outside the project. (I managed to link libraries from inside the project already but not from outside)
The simple solution is to copy the desired java files into your project structure. Of course, you may have to change package names manually.
Found a solution that might not be optimal but at least in my case it solved the problem.
In Android-Studio:
Create a folder called something like "CommonEclipseAndroid" following a path similar to this one: project/Android/app/src/main/java/com/example/myapplication/CommonEclipseAndroid
Paste the code you need to use in both project inside this folder.
In Eclipse:
Right click on your project: Properties > Java Build Path > Source > Link Source and choose the folder we've just created.
Now your projects use the same code. You only need to modify it once for both projects and there's no risk of error.
Hope I helped :).
You can import the shared folder as a module .
go to file> new> import module
Now use the same imported folder in eclipse as well.
I'm trying to run the NWaling.java file found here. the code present at the link that I mentioned makes use of the jaligner library. I have downloaded this Java package from here. inside the zip folder there is a JAR file. I'm developing the code using eclipse. whenever I add this JAR file to the code there are some classes missing for example:
import jaligner.NeedlemanWunschGotoh;
&
import jaligner.matrix.MatrixGenerator;
also in the entire zipped folder there isn't any pom.xml file to allow me to import the entire folder as a maven project to eclipse. can somenone suggest me how to import this jaligner library and use it in eclipse? thanks.
You can download a community implementation of the jaligner algorithm from here.
Take a look at this project sources where you may perhaps find all the searched artifacts.
The full Eclipse project with the NWalign.java can be found here including .classpath file with all dependencies listed there.
I have three .class files that I'm supposed to black-box test. They are under a package named one.two.three. I'm having difficulty accessing them. I started a new java project in eclipse and created a package with the same name. I then proceeded to add the three .class files to bin/one/two/three. If I try using the classes Eclipse can't find them and I get compiler errors. I'm using the appropriate package header. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.
assuming bin/ is your output folder in the Eclipse project settings. Simply dropping the class files under bin/one/two/three will not work as eclipse will either delete them (on clean build) or just ignore these extra artifacts. Do as #Ray Tayek says- keep them in a different directory and edit project classpath and add this as class folder. This should work.
I'm learning Java from Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java. After reading about packages early through the book, I thought I had got it, but when I decided to use the supplementary code(in the form of a single ZIP), I'm not so sure anymore.
The ZIP file contains packages in the correct hierarchy. I've an extracted copy of the ZIP too. Let's call this folder TIJ4. Both the ZIP and the folder are located on my Desktop. I'm working with an example Shapes.java which has an import statement like this:
import polymorphism.shape.*;. I imported this folder in the Project Properties>Libraries>Add external class folder. The strange thing is that Eclipse does not show an error on the import line, yet it cannot resolve names to types. I could manually create a package, then a class from within Eclipse, but isn't there an easier way to do this?
I've gooogled about this but nobody seems to have the exact problem as me. Here's what I've got so far:
1)New Java Project created. Created a class file Shapes.java in the project:
2) Project Properties>Libraries>Add External Class Folder. Selected my folder TIJ4. Notice that the error on the import is now gone. Apparently Eclipse has found the polymorphism package.
3)But I still get XXX cannot be resolved to a type errors all over the place!
what do I do? I also tried Project>Build Path>Add external archives and selected the ZIP, however, ended up in the same place.
As the Zip file contains only Java sources, you will have to compile them. Simple way, right now, is extract them into the src directory in your eclipse project. That way they will be compiled and automatically included in the classpath.
The reason for not able to resolve the classes even the import error goes away, is the zip file contains the directories that satisfy the package structure but there are no compiled classes (the .class files) are found in them.
As I do more and more coding in Java I am creating a library of methods that I use often. Is there a way in Eclipse to set it so that I can import these methods from the source folder of the library project to other projects without copying them to each individual project?
I know there is something that I can do with the Build Path, but when I try to add the source for my library I get a package error in the project it is linked to.
Thanks
Don't import/copy the code from another project--the point is to use the output of the shared project. Just indicate that the project depends on the other project; don't think about the shared project's source.
